Bar Talk
Last night at the bar, my buddy asked, "Hey JaiChai, which mythical creature do you wish actually existed?"
"Dude, that's a no-brainer, the Succubus, of course!" I said, smiling from ear to ear.
"What's a Succubus? That sounds like some kind of plant," he said.
I gave him the Wiki definition:
A succubus is a demon in female form, or supernatural entity in folklore (traced back to medieval legend), that appears in dreams and takes the form of a woman in order to seduce men, usually through sexual activity.
(source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succubus)
Oh and BTW, here's the counterpart for the females:
The male counterpart to the succubus is the incubus. Same modus operandi as the succubus, but preys on females instead.
Looking at my friend, I asked, "Well, what do you think?"
Clearly, the fantasies were flooding into my friend's brain (and mine too)...
After a few moments of deep contemplation, he said,"Think of it. She wouldn't ask for your number, then blow up your phone with stupid texts. She wouldn't drag you to go shopping and then ask you if this or that made her look fat - a no-win situation for any male that hesitates for even a millisecond before answering. And OMG! She wouldn't waste your time taking selfies! She'd be absolutely perfect!"
I gave him an understanding nod, raised my beer, and said, "Mabuhay [Filipino for "Cheers"]!"
Imagine That?
Which mythical creature do you wish actually existed?
May you and yours be well and love life today.
In Lak'ech,
JaiChai
Really Appreciate You Stopping By.
Truly hope to see you again!

Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.
In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.
After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.
Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).
He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.
