what can brown do for me?

i anxiously awaited three packages coming from UPS. one was delivered yesterday and the remaining two were on schedule for today. i quickly raced to the door yesterday when the first box came. i signed for it and was upstairs unpacking it before brown could walk away from the door.

today, i continuously peered outside the window, hoping to see that recognizable large brown truck in front of my building. finally, brown pulled up with the final two boxes from bed, bath, and beyond. i waited for the buzzer and then leaped to the front door, where the same UPS carrier was awaiting my signature.

"hey buddy!"

"er, hi."

"looks like you're gettin' married!"

"uh..." (with shock in my tone)

"we'll be seeing a lot of each other, it seems."

"er, yah."

"i'm rick!"

"adam?"

"see ya soon!"

"um, bye."

it was all strange. first, brown had it all wrong. if only rick knew that i was not receiving towels from my wedding registry, but instead, it was a complete set of bedding, including a new duvet cover and shams, for the guest bedroom. if only rick knew that i was a total homo with a knack for style and decorating.

i wonder what my friend rick will have to say when my box from target comes next week.

I'm going to request that a lesbian be put on our route to deter you from ordering things just so Rick can come to our door.
