Question 5: What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
Thank you for filling out this questionnaire. I love you.
Let’s face it, scams wouldn’t be so plentiful and lucrative if there weren’t gullible people like Estelle falling for them. In Estelle’s case, “gullible” doesn’t seem strong enough. How about airhead, dumb bunny, credulous, dupe? Let’s dig out our copies of Roget’s while Estelle gives Arthur Z her online banking passwords.
ReplyDeleteMore of Arthur's questions for Estelle:
ReplyDeleteWhat is your net worth?
Do you have life insurance? What is the value? Who is the primary beneficiary?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how do you rate your health?
LOL, Wanders, fauxrof and KitKat you beat me to the comments I was going to make. They are all laugh out loud hysterical.
ReplyDeleteI have never in my 62 years on earth never heard of prospective couples filling out questionnaires on each other. Estelle is a complete bubblehead if she follows through on this. I'm hoping that Arthur Z's questions set off a red flag, but this is KM we're talking about.
I want her to go to Mary and Mary tells her to also make a list of pros and cons (emphasis on the con).
Question 30. Do you know that Master Meddler and Righter of (Some) Wrongs, Mary Worth?
ReplyDelete…funny, Arthur hasn't answered for a few days now…
After Arthur is through with Estelle's bank account, she'll meet neighbor Wilbur. On their first date, Wilbur will whine about Fabiana. Estelle will exclaim, "We have so much in common!"

ReplyDeleteHaving bribed the guards for phone privileges, Arthur has neglected to specify that his current job is in the prison laundry.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
ReplyDelete"Is Estelle In Love With Buzzfeed?".
Every morning!
Same way.
Questionnaires. Every detail!
Okay. Fun!
*tsk* And I thought Wilbur was a dope...
ReplyDeleteWhat is your mother's maiden name? What was your high school mascot? What street did you grow up on? My guess is that Estelle won't see these as info. gathering for malicious reasons. Of course, anyone who speaks to her beloved in the bathroom has already crossed a few boundaries.
ReplyDeleteHaven't they been talking to each other for weeks? What's left to know?
ReplyDeleteI find it odd that the great and world-wise Mary has only encouraged Estelle in this idiocy and has not uttered one cautionary word.
ReplyDeleteMy 93yr old mom occasionally gets scam phone calls saying she owes money to the IRS or some nonsense. She plays along and then tells them her late husband was an FBI agent and she is recording their call. It's a lie, my dad was a car salesman. My mom just has a great sense of humor and loves messing with them. They always hang up quickly.
ReplyDeleteEstelle, you need to spend more time taking quizzes on Facebook.
A common scam here in India is to pretend to be calling from your bank. The scammer tells you your debit card has been "locked" and to unlock it you need to provide the number. I always tell them "Wait, I'm in the bank right now, please talk to the manager." They always hang up immediately for some reason.
Delete@Yahoonski at 10:44 a.m., Mary is waiting until Estelle is even more invested in her romantic fantasies before uttering a cautionary word. Mary gets more satisfaction seeing her meddling victims utterly devastated, not just merely crushed.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a bit sad that Arthur Z has, quite correctly, surmised that Estelle is rather dim and needs to be explicitly told to fill out the questionnaire before sending it to him.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't go far enough. He should have explained that he needs her to answer the questions.
DeleteThink about it: Anyone who is stupid enough to go on a date with a dirty looking, plate licking homeless guy, is stupid enough to give out her personal information to a guy she's only talked to on the phone and couldn't pick him out of a lineup because she has no idea what Skype is.
ReplyDeleteTUESDAY
ReplyDeleteIf Estelle answered “Chevrolet Aveo” she would have been able to skip to the end of the questionnaire.
TUESDAY
ReplyDeleteLet’s see... Favorite Food: Pizza. Favorite Hobby: Reading. What kind of car do you drive: I don’t own a car.
Sigh, I guess I’m a total loser as far as SilverDaters is concerned. Lucky me.
TUESDAY
ReplyDeleteSo, assuming that Arthur's questionnaire has at least 50 questions and that Estelle is only able to complete three answers per day, we're here for another..... Oh, good grief!

ReplyDeleteBTW, I assume that's a kitchen or dining-room table, since there's a milk carton on it. What is it with the Worthiverse that people let their pets sit on tables that they eat off of? Old Man Winters also did it, and so did Jared the Medical Assistant.
Yuk.
