This morning, the talk radio show I listen to had comedian Ant (of “Last Comic Standing” fame) on as a special guest, talking about a recent TV-people cruise he’d just been on. He said that he actually went on the cruise stag, because just hours before the cruise, his long-term boyfriend of 3 years dumped him. By text message. So Ant received this text message that said, “I’m not going with you on the cruise.”
Ant texted back, “Why, are you sick?”
He received, “No. I’m dumping you.”
The hosts of the talk radio show were shocked, and asked a bunch of questions. So turned out, Ant’s always been the provider, he paid for everything as well as their home, the boyfriend was a 45 year old (which is like 90 in gay years, Ant joked) who moved back in with his parents. “You should’ve canceled his cell phone so he can’t dump you by text message!” the hostess said.
Ant said, “Oh, I didn’t pay for his phone. His mom did.” !!!
So this jobless loser moocher left a younger celebrity who paid for everything, whom he’d been with for 3 years, by text message for what reason?
“I don’t know,” Ant said. “Once you get a text that someone’s dumping you like that, you kinda don’t want to continue the conversation. It’s a waste of my 400 texts.” Hmm.
Ant also had a funny anecdote from the cruise. He said that Ross(?), the intern from The Tonight Show, was also on the cruise, and one evening at the dinner, there was “unicorn” on the menu. When the waitress came around for orders, Ross said, “I’ll try the unicorn.”
Ant: What’s the unicorn?
Waitress: It’s a fish.
Ross: Oh. Then I’m gonna change my order.
Ant: Wait a minute. You were okay with it when it was a magical horse? And now you want to change it cuz it’s a fish?!
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Made me laugh out loud in my car. “Can I order a pegasus instead?” HAHAHAHAHA!!
That is horrible that he was dumped that way! After 3 years?!
I love ANT and ROSS! That was hysterical about the unicorn!
I love Ant, too. Can’t say I know who Ross is, tho. Thanks for visiting and appreciating this post, Joey! =)
What is wrong with the world today! Breaking up via text is so tacky! And after 3 years… man, what a story to tell people. But I do knotice that people have more balls on text, then on a regular phone conversation.
That’s why I don’t text. 😉
My texting is out of control! I text at least 2K a month, but would never break up with someone over text. Unless… I saw them with someone else and would send them a text saying I see them and have them freakout. I swear, the stuff that goes through my head.
