Képzeld, találtam munkát ezen a héten. Amint tudod, szeptemberben 'leépítettek', és azóta munkanélküli
segélyen voltam. Iszonyú adósságaim lettek, nem tudtam mit csináljak. Akár hiszed akár nem, esténként a TV
elõtt ültem, és gyakran könny szökött a szemembe. Aztán egy nap véletlenül megláttam egy hirdetést, ahol
férfi táncosokat keresnek. Még bizonytalan vagyok abban, hogy elfogadom-e, egyszerûen nem tudok dönteni. A
feleségem azt mondja, hogy ne menjek, mert nem tudok elég jól táncolni. Tudod milyen, mindenbe beleköt (de
legalább nem beszél ki a hátam mögött, mint az elõzõ). Na, ennyit mostanra. Csá, Frank
