Are you one of those people who wonder what it’s like to be a part of the “Beautiful Club?” Apparently my husband is.
We were watching television together when a commercial for one of the luxury resorts came on. Darren looked at me and said, “Where is the beach for ugly people?” I stared at him inquisitively and said, “What are you talking about?” He said, “Well, every time one of those commercials come on, there are always beautiful people running across a sandy beach sipping tropical drinks. Where are the normal people? Do they have a separate beach?”
