ZIP TRAGEDY

In Toulouse, France, a girl invited her boyfriend home for dinner to meet her parents. The boy really liked the girl, so he was very eager for the meeting to go well, so he expressed interest in the parents' respective jobs and tried to show that he cared for their daughter very much. The evening seemed to be going fine by the time they all sat down for dinner. The mother served dinner and told him that she had cooked pheasant, which at that time of year was very hard to get hold of and very expensive. The boy was about to start eating, when he looked down and realised his zip was undone. As inconspicuously as he could he fastened up his zip and, remembering what his mother told him about washing his hands, he asked if he could use the bathroom before eating. Unfortunately, the tablecloth had got caught in the zipper, so as he rose from the table and walked away, he took the cloth with him, complete with all the plates full of food, the glasses, bottles and condiments. To the boy's horror, everything smashed on the floor. There was an awkward silence, before the boy fled in tears.
