This “friend” was seriously the flesh and blood embodiment of Homer Simpson, only with hair. (If you ever have seen an episode of the Simpsons that includes a flashback sequence with Homer in it, the you have seen my “friend”. I swear he is Homer’s twin.) Not only does he look like Homer, he is also about as bright. Even so, I always thought he was a sweet and generous guy.

That was until his wife died in a car accident, and he was handed over $30,000.00 from a life insurance policy. You would think he would use that money to perhaps start a college fund for his wife’s two daughters from a previous marriage, children he claimed to love as his own. But nooooooo. He bought a used Corvette, a hot-tub, and put a large down payment on a new truck.

To make a long story even longer, he had a new girlfriend within a couple of weeks, and remarried about a year later. His new wife caught him cheating on her, and took him to the cleaners.

What goes around, comes around… sometimes.
