the last e-mail i received

tonight i received an e-mail . nothing special about it , just an e-mail from an old girlfriend . we went out for about 4 years from when she was 21 . she's 28 now i think . anyway , we split up when she went on a year long trip , things hadn't been going great at that point and it was a natural time to do it . we parted as friends , we had an amazing 4 years , partied hard , too hard most of the time .what i liked best about her was that she was soooooo funny , we took the piss out of each other and the world constantly and shared the same sarcastic humour, and i miss that . back to the e-mail . so she's currently in New Zealand and we'd exchanged the odd e-mail . if she found someone who didn't amuse her she'd say " he was Funny's brother- Not Funny " . i thought she'd fallen out with me for some reason as she hadn't replied for months so i sent her an e-mail that said this -

i'm sure you've heard about the accident , pretty bad , but i least i'm still here . got fitted with my own tailor made prosthetic last week so at least i can walk about without people staring at my foot and I've started driving again .....

then prattled on about some other stuff , filling her in on the lives of mutual friends , work etc. . and after 2/3 mins of reading finished the letter off with this ....

anyway , that'll do for now , got to go and bathe my stump !
oh , and about the foot - just kidding !



tonight , 9 weeks later i get a reply titled " Not Funny " the first line being ......

You really had me going you bastard....



the moral of the story is .... always reply to e-mails .
