Let Us Be Friends

So the party was fun. We went, we saw, we conquered.
We rode to the party with our friends, Jeff and Tracy. On the way up there, Jeff let it slip that he thinks the new girl at work, Mandy, is hot. In fact, he called her "Man Candy," causing Tracy to be a bit upset.
Fast forward to dinner. Tracy and I are sitting at a table when one of our friends comes to sit down with us. Along with her comes Mandy. Tracy was not amused. Friend says, "Have you guys met yet?" Tracy responds abruptly, "NO." Friend introduces Tracy as "Jeff's wife" to which Mandy replies, "Oh My God - you're Jeff's wife? Jeff and Kevin are my two favorite people at work." Tracy, again not amused, goes, "Well that's just great, MANDY. Courtney, do you want to go with me to get a drink?"
It was so funny. I've actually never seen Tracy act stupid before, so I was sitting there with my mouth wide open, just staring at her.
Mandy turned out to be really nice. In fact, we talked a lot throughout the night. Turns out we went to the same college, and she's married, and she looks like a rat. A rat with a killer body, but a rat nonetheless. It was for these reasons that I found it possible to be friends with Man Candy. Really, for the last reason alone. Had she been a hot girl, I would have hated her right along with Tracy.
