Something better comes along...

Parker decided that he was going to the high school prom. He asked Mary to go with him but Mary already had other plans and turned him down.

'No worries,' thought Parker. 'There are more fish in the sea.'

So then Parker asked Betty the beauty queen to the prom... and she said yes!

Perfect! Parker rented a tuxedo and a limo and charged both on his parent's credit card without batting an eye. He was committed to taking Betty to the prom.

But then Parker found out that Tina, a COLLEGE student and a cheerleader at an upper-crust university, had just broken up with the Captain of the college football team... only weeks before a big on campus party which falls on the same date as the high school prom.

Chances are Tina wouldn't want to go to a high school prom... but Parker could certainly see himself going to a big college party instead.

Parker found himself in quite a pickle. Yes, he was the one who asked Betty to the prom, but when he did he didn't know that 'something better' would come along. Namely a college student named Tina and the chance to go to a college party instead of a high school prom.

After much debate, Parker decided that someone else could take Betty to the prom and he'd pursue Tina instead. He was certain Betty would understand.

Oh... the rented limo and tux?

Sorry, no refunds.
