WHAT I DID FOR LOVE

Coming up on a new show on the Oxygen network called “My Crazy Love”, a waitress in Kodiak, Alaska, identified only as “Tina,” dated a fisherman for nine months and pretended she was deaf the entire time without him finding out. Tina said that, first off, she was shocked to find an attractive single guy in Kodiak, Alaska. “I was frozen,” she said on the episode. “I don’t know why … but I look at the guy and say, ‘I’m deaf.’ He just looks down at me, grabs my shoulder and yells ‘My name is Chris.’ He turns around to his buddies and says, ‘This deaf chick is hot!'” Tina kept up the charade, communicating by texts and body language. Things were easier when Chris went on a three-month fishing trip. She says It was tough to stay in character. “If a door slams, you’ve got to not look,” she said. “If a dog barks, you have to be really careful not to look or anything. Cross the street and you have to pretend you can’t hear the horn honking at you.” The article doesn’t say if they are still together.
* They call it the Oxygen network because after you watch their shows, your brain will need oxygen.
* She looked at the guy and said, “I’m deaf,” and he said, “Do you know any girls who can’t talk?”
* So, Chris was the perfect man: attractive AND stupid.
* Although she believes he went on a three-month fishing trip, so who’s the dumb one?
* Sounds like we’re finally running out of ideas for Alaska reality shows.
* To give you an idea of how crowded that field is, there’s already another reality show called “Kodiak.”
* Kodiak … You know it’s a dangerous place when an island has its own kind of bear. Especially when that bear can weigh 1,500 pounds and stand 10 feet tall.
* What Tina should do is wait for her boyfriend to have a great night in the sack. Then say, “Your lovemaking was so good, it cured my hearing problem.”
* He’s a guy. He’ll believe it. Guys always believe that they’re that good.
* PHONE TOPIC: What stupid thing have you done for love?
