Girlfriend Application
By: Joshua Manning

As I drove home from school today, I began to comprehend the patheticness of my love-life.  Not having a girlfriend since that funny looking girl in fourth grade (Hi Heather.  Haven't seen you since graduation, what's up?) tends to make one feel down about himself.  As I sat in my car for the thirty minute drive home (which defiantly beats the thirty hour drive to LA), I began to remember my failed past.  All those times I've asked girls out only to have them crack up laughing thinking I was joking to just plain turning me down, sort of like the "not really" girl.   BTW, I just got Amy O.'s email address.  How ya doing Amy?  You all can email Amy at Corvair01@hotmail.com.  Tell her I said hey and all.  Anyway, I was very close to thinking I wasn't all that great looking when inspiration hit me.  I have to be great looking.  See, Chris F. always tells me how hot my sister is and Kenny has even told me she is cute a few times (which I think is sick considering Kenny's our cousin and all, but hey, this IS South Louisiana).  And don't think I haven't heard you sick-o's talk about all my cousins.  My cousin Jessica is, in fact, a model (ain't kidding about that either).  Kenny also tells me that he's cute and all.  So, considering I just bought a graphing calculator for 100 freaken bucks, I took it out and added things up.  Not only am I cute, but I would even consider myself ruggedly handsome.  I mean, it's all in the jean pool.  Heck, I always wear jeans.

Well, that in mind, I am now accepting applications for a girlfriend.  To my guy friends, I'm desperate but not that desperate.  Just pass this along to all your cute, female, human friends (Yes, with people such as Matthew out there I DO have to specify human.  He'll set me up with his dog or something).  All you unavailable women that are married or in another type of relationship thing or are related to me, just pass this on to your single friends.  Thanks again for your time.  I will review all applications and get back to the winner within the next few weeks.

Your buddy,
Josh
