Take Him, Please

AS SEEN IN TODAY'S METRO:

Tonight the District Lounge in Boston is hosting a Yankee Swap Your Ex Party for split-up couples. If you have an ex who you're still friends with, you can go together and hopefully swap each other out for other people's exes.

The wonderful audacity of this amuses me greatly. I have an ex who I'm still friends with, but unfortunately he's neither local nor available. Too bad -- this would be jolly fun, in a vaguely just-shoot-me kind of way.

I'd be happy to write a letter of recommendation for most of my exes. Of course, most of them would also have a warning or two about things I learned the hard way ("Don't get fat, or he'll dump you," "He was badly abused as a child, and closeness scares him, so you have to let any increase in closeness come from HIM," "She's married to her job, so you need to have a consuming interest of your own or at least, a hell of a lot of other friends or lovers"), but for most of my lovers, my most lukewarm rec would be "You could do a lot worse," and some folks would get "X is a truly fascinating person, and just being able to talk with him is worth a lot" or even "You haven't lived until you've had sex with Y." *grin*

Hee! You'd be fun at one of those parties!
