Remember the “Pina Colada Song”? Rupert Holmes’ ditty to coincidental infidelity has improbably survived the 70’s to appear in movies such as Shrek, even more improbably. In Poland, the song got a little off-key — and off-color:
A Polish man got the shock of his life when he visited a brothel and spotted his wife among the establishment’s employees.
Polish tabloid Super Express said the woman had been making some extra money on the side while telling her husband she worked at a store in a nearby town.
So I waited with high hopes
And she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant
I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady
And she said, “Oh it’s you.”
It didn’t turn out quite like Rupert sang back in the day. Instead of sipping drinks in the dunes of the cape, the pair will instead plan their escape in family court after a 14-year marriage.
Somewhere in here, a political analogy awaits. It might be that voters who want pork shouldn’t be surprised when their representatives turn out to be whores, or perhaps that people get what they deserve when they don’t vet their candidates properly. Right now, it’s a nice break from the primaries!
