WOMAN ON A MISSION

**** In the words of Richard Nixon , I want to make this perfectly clear .
At no time during our UTM years did I have a relationship with Sally Sparks .

I did take her to lunch at the T - Room several times ,& she did accompany me to a boxing card at the Oman Arena . But I was not on her radar screen .

Sally was not shy about saying the one & only reason she was at college was find to a rich husband . That put me out of her line of fire .

I thought UTM was a strange choice of hunting ground . After all there were not many millionaires at Martin . Sally seemed to have a lack of targets . But she pursued her goal with passion .

I guess if you think in relative terms, considering the little pissant place Sally was from ,then UTM had some high rollers .

Now you think taking Sally to lunch at the swanky T - Room was costing me a bundle . I have a confession to make . I sure hope the statue limitations has expired

The T - Room wrote your order & the cost of your meal on a page from a generic ticket book . Several of my buddies had been to the dime store and bought our own ticket book . Yes , We were switching tickets so Sweet Sally &I were eating darn near free .

When I took Sally to the boxing matches where I was the main event , We stopped for a coke at the drive - in . I almost drowned her . You know they put the tray with your stuff on the car window . Our cokes were a little too tall to get in the window . The solution is to roll the window down a little more . Instead I gave them a good yank , throwing both of the cokes all over Sally. She rode the 50 miles back to Martin with Coke dripping off her nose . She was not happy . I can say it was the only time I spent with Sally that wasn't lots of fun .

Well,springtime rolled around & Sally announced her engagement . The guy was a real DIPSTICK but he had money .

We had lunch at the T - Room & I asked her . " Sparks , are you really going to marry that DORK ?"

She answered " for a while, Champ, for a while "

I saw Sally Sparks on Facebook the other day . I don't know if she was married to the same Dude . My gamblers instinct say NO!
