Now that was funny. Poor old Dick. Favorite lines: you look like a Dick and I never met a Dick I didn't like. You need to write a book about a cute little redheaded girl who takes the world by storm. Great title :Dicks I have known. This was one of those that caught me off guard but I loved it. Gretchen

And, Gretchen, I wasn't even in an elevator!! (Remember that one from A Fly on the Wall?)
Thanks for the fun and validating review. xo
Comment from jmdg1954
YOU definitely need to post more! This was a phenominal write.
I'm just glad to know that this guys last name wasn't Less!
To me it started off on a serious note laying (no pun intended) the foundation for your nervous chatter with Dick.
I burst out laughing with this line - This comes out in an octave that sounds like Snow White has overdosed on helium.
Great post.
Enjoy your evening...
John

Lol! ð?¤£ Well, I think your tenacity was eclipsed by your humor and so it's all good ð???
Hubby needed to explain the other meaning of Johnson. I'm thinking why would anyone go by Dick when the could just be Rich!
Enjoyed your fun story whether true or really biographical!

It's an honest-to-gawd true story, I'm sorry to say that I've kept pretty much to myself all these years. But when I shared it last night with Debbie D'Arcy just in passing in an email, she said I just HAD to write it for a post. So I figured, oh, why not. It's nearly fifty years later; time to laugh at it!
Thanks for the encouraging review. That's funny that you had to ask your husband about "Johnson," though. xoxo

I laughed so hard at this story! I especially liked your line about Snow White on helium. You're right that there's no light to his name. LOL. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Oh Elle, Brilliant! I didn't think you were going to post quite this soon and I've got nothing more to give. Wonderful, unstoppably hilarious and a gift to read on this miserable grey day in the UK. If I'd been blindfolded I would have known it was from you with its mischievous Rachelle stamp firmly imprinted. Great job! Debbie xoxo

This actually had me laughing so loudly my daughter came in to see what was so funny. I like the way you brought the story to a head (pun definitely intended!) with the revelation of the full name, Dick Johnson. At least you wouldn't have had any difficulty remembering his name, first or last.
I used to date a Richard. He introduced himself to me as Rich, and that's what I always called him. His sister called him Dickie, but I could not bring myself to say, "I'm dating a Dickie." You get a much better reaction when you say, "The guy I'm dating is Rich!"

Well done.
Peter works well, too.
When my son was young he thanked me for not naming him Richard after observing how a classmate was taunted.
Best wishes.

Oh, yes! Peter! You're right.
Thanks for the nice review, Wayne. xo
Comment from Spitfire
Your are so funny, Rachelle. The six for so many laughs. Parents should never name their son Dick. Great list of two sides to every story. My favorite simile: octave that sounds like Snow White has overdosed on helium.
