Truth is stranger than fiction.
There was a man in Chile who spent 69 days trapped underground and that's not nearly the biggest hole this miner (not pictured) has dug for himself.
I'll leave all the other "up with people" and "we are the world" stories for others to write.
To me, the most fascinating element of this entire story is the miner for whom this whole affair, uncovered his affair.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yonni Barrios probably thought he would be lauded when he arrived back on the surface.
He was called the "doctor" and helped vaccinate the other Chilean miner's during their time underground.
What a feel good story.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, but it was that darned mistress.
She had to peak her head out at the exact wrong time.
While there was a vigil for the trapped miners Yonni's wife called out his name.
Understandable, sweet.
But wait, there's more!
So did his mistress!!!
Of all the ways to be called out for cheating!
That's gotta be on top of the list.
The producers for the TV show "Cheaters" should all retire, they're NEVER going to top that.
Goodnight everyone, thanks for playing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's compare that to other recent dogs in the news.
Tiger Woods and Brett Favre.
Tiger got called out because the sheer volume of infidelity was overwhelming and like an avalanche it finally consumed all.
Brett's incomplete pass included texting a dong-shot to a 25 year old girl who happen to be employed by the same company.
Those are brash, bold, arrogant acts that say 'I'm above ever getting found out'...
All the Chilean miner did was get trapped (literally and figuratively).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jacques Chirac famously brought both his wife and mistress to state events in France.
Oh those wacky French with their differing sexual mores.
Guess it doesn't work like that in Chile.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After being rescued, who awaited the doctor?
That's right, his faithful mistress.
The wife didn't show.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I love about this story is it's morally complex.
The guy's cheating was wrong.
That's clear.
But does he get a pass for pain and suffering?
He did just have to spend months trapped in hell.
Some guys have to sleep on the couch for their misdeeds, he endured worse.
I don't know if Yonni Barrios drinks Dos Eqis, but he is, the most interesting man in the world.
Lang... enjoyed reading this. Very witty. In a sense, you're saying he already paid for his bad behavior. I see a follow-up to this story. Maybe in the next couple of days, we will find out that he had more mistresses! ha ha
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he woke up this morning hoping he could stay down there. I honestly think part of him wishes he stayed down there.
ReplyDeleteloved the look on his face when his mistress was waiting for him instead of his wife--- sure he hugged her--- but he knew he was was in TROUBLE
