A Friend of Mine

I have a friend. Lets call her... De Hor.

One day, De Hor and I were having a chat about our future career choices. It went something like this:

Me: When I grow up I wanna be famous, I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies. When I grow up I wanna see the world, drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies. So what do you wanna do when you grow up?

De Hor: Oh I wanna be a GRO.

Me: Huh?? What's that??

De Hor: It stands for General Relation Officer.

Me (thinking) : Hmm, sounds pretty cool. General.... oh like General Manager! Relation... hmm... oh yeah Public Relations! Officer... officer.... Chief Executive Officer!! Wow this chic's thinking big man!

Me (trying not to seem stupid) : Wow yeah cool! Great career prospect! You're gonna go far, babe!

De Hor: Uh, yeah, right, thanks.

Few days later, while down at mah crib chilling with a bunch of mah homies...

Me: Hey, you know I was having a chat with De Hor the other day. Guess what, she wants to be a GRO! How cool is that?!

(Whole room bursts out laughing)

Me: Yo what up, dawg?! It ain't cool that y'all be laughing like that!

Homie 1: Dude, do you even know what GRO means?!

Me: Not really. But it sounds cool. Like some high position in a company where they pay you a lotta money to do nothing.

(Room bursts out laughing again)

Homie 2: No, you dumb nut! A GRO is the professional term for an escort! Damn!

Me: Holy $#!*@&%^!!! That's what it means?!

So anyways yeah that was a little reenactment of when I learned the real meaning of GRO. Though I might have exaggerated a bit here and there.

Man, I have no idea what De Hor was thinking! I guess when she thinks escort, she thinks 50 cent, hot babes, clubs, weed, booze and parties til the break of dawn etc.

Well when I think escort, I think of my ham sup 70 year old neighbor singing chinese karaoke at 2am hoping to get laid soon.

Talk about career driven women.
