A young girl was on a year’s training course in Alberta. She received a "Dear John" letter from her boyfriend back home.
It read as follows:
Dear Mary,
I can no longer continue our relationship.
The distance between us is just too great.
I must admit that I have cheated on you twice, since you’ve been gone, and it's not fair to either of us.
I'm sorry. Please return the picture of me that I sent to you. Love, John
Mary was devastated. But soon she recovered and thought of a plan. She asked her colleagues for any snapshots they could spare of their boyfriends, brothers, ex-boyfriends, uncles, cousins, etc.
She got a package ready for John which included his picture .
In addition to the picture of John, Mary included all the other pictures of the guys she had collected from her friends.
There were 57 photos in that envelope, along with this note:
Dear John,
I'm so sorry, but I can't remember who the hell you are.
Please take your picture from the pile, and send the rest back to me.
Take care,
Mary
That was a M*A*S*H episode decades ago, only it was a guy that got “Dear Johnned” by his social-climbing girl back home.
Smart girl.
No but I had girls call me up months after I broke up with them thanking me when I was younger :)
I said “you’re welcome” :)
When I was 19, I knew four girls with the same first name...different spellings for each name.
Thanking you for going out with them? Or leaving them?
Leaving them LOL!!
They said they couldn’t see what a louse I was while they were in the relationship :)
Hey Sod...You always make me smile...Luv ya...Sac
I get the humor behind this but it made me think, what kind of guy would want his picture back? Was it like his only one? Unless maybe he sent her a nude and was worried she might share it as a revenge. LOL
Age 17...I had a boyfriend for every night of the week. They were all named Dick.
Laughter is the best prescription for what ails us!
While overseas a soldier, poor fellow, learned his girlfriend back home ran off with the tractor salesman. She wrote him a John Deere letter.
Wouldn’t work:
It would be clear her motive was to wound.
People who do lash out do so because they feel wounded.
She’d only be making clear her own pain.
This very old joke is normally told as a girl demanding her picture back in her Dear John letter.
The guy rounds up not only pictures of other females but porno shots as well, with the same “request”.
Silly story. Young people don’t exchange physical pictures. Everything is digital nowadays.
Ever watch MASH?
I learned later that she had entered a convent. Well, that put a different light on it. If God wanted her for Himself, I shouldn't complain.
As things turned out, I finished my degree, went on active duty, and was assigned to Dayton, Ohio. There I met and married a wonderful young lady. Our marriage lasted thirty years until her death.
Ten years after that, I met and married the wonderful woman I'm now married to. I guess I have nothing to complain about, but it was kind of rough for a time.
Great story.
God bless!
Does a tape recording of her father offering to shoot me in the head and bury my body in the woods count?
