"You might be a redneck" and "Here's your sign"

So I'm sitting at work. Crunching numbers. *sigh*. I'm thankful for a job, I'm thankful a job (though truly I am). When the owner of the company came up to me and started saying, "I have these tickets that are really good. I mean, I really wanted to use these, I begged for them. I'm thinking you and Tina (who sits next to me, crunching other numbers) should really take them..." at this point I'm thinking he has tickets for the upcoming "What Women Want Expo", I've been given them before from my work. The TV stations like to hand out random tickets to companies, and being as I'm one of three women in the building, the Women expo tickets usually land in my hands. But he continues, "I begged for these tickets. I mean I really begged, and I really, really wanted to go but some family stuff came up and now I can't." OK, I'm getting a bit confused but he has my attention. Finally he spills the beans, he wants to give me his tickets to Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, and Larry the Cable Guy... in a suite. "There will probably be food in the suite," he nonchalantly states.

Frankly at this point I'm bouncing in my chair, "are you serious?!?" Tina on the other hand, has never heard of them. She lives in a Hispanic box. She knows who George Lopez is though, just went and saw him in Wendover actually. Don't ask her about it though, the slot machine wasn't nice to her. I text West, he's clearly as excited as I am: "No Way!!!!!!" I've never been in a suite before. It was AWESOME. There was a fridge full of drinks, a heat plate full of mozzarella sticks and marinara sauce, popcorn, cookies, and pizzas were delivered. Our seats were on the first row of the suite's balcony, but now having been through the experience I would think that I would prefer the top row of the balcony. You're already above the stage (at least in the Energy Solutions Arena), but on the front row, I feel like I can't keep squeezing past people to get back up in to the suite. If we were on the top row, then we can enjoy the goodies of the suite freely. Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not complaining. What a fun experience! Tina and me: I'm in love with Bill Engvall. Not really in L.O.V.E but he's by far my favorite comedian. He came out and opened with the things he's decided NOT to do anymore. Like text. If the good Lord wanted it to take him 15 minutes to say "what's up", he would have given him a stutter. Jeff Foxworthy told stories of his family, which he explains is clearly where he gets his redneck jokes. Like when his grandma didn't want to stay in a Motel 6 because it would be "uppity", and how his 8 month pregnant cousin got married, and then got in a car with her new husband, and instead of driving off, began spinning donuts in the front yard.

My favorite part of the whole night was when they were all on stage together, bouncing off each other's words. I laughed until my stomach hurt. It was hilarious to watch them make each other speechless with laughter. Maybe in my next life I'll come back as Jeff Foxworthy. Or at least the guy who gets to be the opener for them :).
