Saturday night and nothing to do . . . "Wanna go to the Hookers Ball?"
"What?"
"I said, Wanna go to the Hookers Ball? It's right down the street . . . didn't you see the big white tent and all the ladies all dressed up? There's a big sign that says, Parking for Hookers Ball in the Ocean State Job Lot Parking Lot! Too bad we didn't bring the right clothes with us!"
"What?"
"The Hookers Ball -- it's a fundraiser for the local fishermen and fishing industry that's been going on here in Chatham for the last few years . . . "
Marash Girl, somewhat relieved, would have loved to have gone, but unfortunately, didn't have the right outfit for the occasion!

I dare say that if, indeed, it was a Hooker's Ball, 'come as you are' would have been appropriate.
ReplyDeleteIt's an annual fundraiser for fishermen who "hook" fish! In other words, a hookers' ball!
ReplyDeleteI did understand that. My comment remains. Fishermen, are they known to be fashion moguls?
