John Worley called Captain Lee on Wednesday afternoon and served him peals of laughter for lunch.
“Captain Lee, I'm going to need you to come rescue me from a real situation – you ought to see these women down here picking out bridal dresses and coming back talking about 'what do you think'? I can't handle all this silliness – and beauty!”
Captain Lee could hear his fiancee Maggie Thornton, her cousin Margie Bell, and his grandmother Selene Slocum-Lofton all giggling in the background, and it started him laughing as they teased Mr. Worley for teasing them.
“See, this is why I'm not retired,” Captain Lee said, “even though I can afford it. One never knows what silly, beautiful situations one can find one's self in, being a retired man with so many beautiful women around. Tell me they haven't gotten your credit or debit card.”
“Oh, no, I'm not that dazzled – Selene is treating her two younger friends!”
“Tell them I said they only need one simple, affordable dress apiece.”
“Are you trying to get me killed, Captain Lee?”
“Well, if you're calling a police officer for help, you ought to at least have an emergency. That will do the trick.”
“Darn straight – let me run around the corner and get my funeral suit together before I try that, though!”
The ladies were rolling laughing in the background, and later, Captain Lee called Mr. Worley and thanked him for calling and adding just that much joy and fun to his day.
