All The Good Ones Taken

My brother stayed up late yesterday so that he could buy the Harry Potter book for his fiance. That meant, he had time in line to talk with others waiting for the midnight release of the final book in the series.

After talking with a couple of the women around him, Jason found himself talking with an "older" (which meant 40s) gentleman who was there to buy the book for his stepdaughter. They were the hit of the line. Two men, there waiting, while important women in their lives were home asleep.

One "British" woman even commented to the other ladies that "all the good ones are taken."

This was just before she threatened to castrate him and do other, more frightening things, if he made good on his joke to read the last page and put the ending in a card with the book as to ruin it for his fiance.

Fortunate for him, and his future children, he did not choose this line of action. Instead, he woke up two households worth of people (his fiance's when he took the book there for her, and his parents, where he showed up unannounced at 2 a.m. to spend the night).

Here's to hoping I can make it through the final book without learning anything new about Harry Potter. I don't even know another characters name.
