Free Willy

A few months ago I went to California. Sea, Sex and Sun sang Serge Gainsbourg. So I decided to obey his rules and have a date. Here we go, I had a date at SeaWorld with a.... killer whale...??? I admit a killer whale is not very glamorous or fashionable, except if you like to have a girl friend who is stronger than you. The reputation of the french-lover was at stake.

When I saw ''my date'', I couldn't leave because she had already see me. It would not have been very gentlemanly and you know "the French reputation..." But after one look I told myself '' French and gentleman ??? It's an oxymoron. I can go..I must go...'' but it was too late...

So in this case you must make a quick list of the good and the bad things (the first things I thought about were bad...) when you have a killer whale as a girl friend.

So if you have a killer whale as a girl friend the good thing is, you have a swimming pool ! The bad thing is, when you go swimming with her, by comparaison, your style is as graceful as a garden gnome in a wheelchair.

If you have a killer whale as a grilfriend you don't go to the mall to try on new dresses, or buy new shoes. But perhaps after few months staying with a girl always in black and white, you could have the feeling that you are living with a nun.

If you have a killer whale as a grilfriend, there are no hairdressers, no nails or pedicures, but when your girl friend asks for a massage you must book your whole weekend.

No no no, this is becoming impossible, and if she smiles showing all her teeth, you could imagine yourself as Little Red Riding Hood in front of the Big Bad Wolf...

The worst for me was when she came with differents friends and put on a show... I can say a killer whale is not the perfect girl friend for me, but the show was very cool.

I just want to finish this (stupid /funny you decide) post with a serious comment. All my thoughts go to the family of the trainer who was killed by a killer whale during a show at SeaWorld in Orlando. I, and all the people who like killer whales and wild life in general, are with you.
