ENGLISHMAN
AGES, THROWS PAR'Y
AUSTIN, TX - Astonished to learn he will age another year
on his birthday, long time youth advocate and Englishman,
Andy Dollerson, organizes an Irish themed party to conceal
his embarrassment and old age.
"Everyone celebrates birthday's like they are a wonderful
thing, but, mate, nobody ever tells you that they're actually
getting older," confesses Dollerson.
During lunch with friends, Dollerson, upon discovery that
he would, in fact, turn 29 years old, reportedly spewed
his mildly warm tomato soup upon realization.
"Wha 'appened to 28? That's right buggered, mate.
Barmy people act like you don't get much older between 28
and 29, but that's a lie. You do. I'm turning 29, and that's
one older," Dollerson exclaimed. "Another birthday
par'y! I can't be asked, mate. I'm gonna 'ave it away on
me toes!"
Confused by this Bournemouth, UK slang, his roommates,
Greg and Jolie Willis, in an act of benevolence, communicated
as clearly as "could be asked" that a birthday
part had already been planned and must continue.
"We have already brewed beer and told everyone we
know about the party," Willis told reporters. "As
I always said in my theatre days, I told him the show must
go on, and that's when hey took his pants off and ran into
the side yard throwing pickled yams at the neighbors."
Dollerson then reportedly had an epiphany amidst his pant-less
pickled yam fit and returned to the lunch table to communicate
his idea.
"We'll toss a banging mash, and that way, nobo'y'll
know I'm turning 29. They'll think they're coming to a righ'
proper par'y instead. Eh? Eh? Eh? Imperial, mate! That idea
is imperial."
Conceding to the pleas, Greg and Jolie capitulated.
"That's when we decided to make it a party about St.
Patrick's Day," Jolie laughed. "We were fine with
the decision, to be honest, and it seemed to make Andy happy."
