It may not have been explicitly verbalized between them, but I'm sure George, Jenna, and Carrie knew that Kurt wasn't Carrie's father. Possibly mentioned between them with the proviso "don't tell Kurt".
.
This situation would motivate the rocky marriage, growing worse as Carrie grew up and acted out the knowledge of her heritage. "He's not really my father and I'm not Polish even though I appear so to the world."
.
Isolating the company from the marriage wouldn't be difficult to do -- it could have been reorganized as employee owned, or sold to a consortium of Anna and trusted long-timers. Kurt retired, then rehired as part time emeritus. Capital could have absorbed any profit Kurt coud have made. His three months of travel before divorce filing would have of distanced the transaction.
.
The point for the story is _he escaped_, and left the three stuck in poor circumstances as revenge. Kurt is not one for scorched earth, but just believes that people should reap what they sow. That's a basic reason for his success in business and community.
.
The only thing that 'bothered' me is failure to account for Gus. He could be the host/owner greeting them, prompting Kurt to recall his earlier joke when commiserating.
.
And, it was an excellent joke!
Good read
Yeah, the legal stuff probably wasn't right but I've seen do much crazier here. Well written and engaging.
Good story and well written.Good ending, though I surely would not have even had any dialog with her after leaving her. I also have to back up the previous anonymous statement..Any car guy would not be caught driving a Miata. Its a chicks car,it's what a dad would buy a daughter.. It is not a sports car,it's a convertible with a lawnmower motor for good gas mileage /transportation that allows chicks to present themselves to male on lookers...4stars..Jzk..
Good story, but you should know the mazda miata is a chick's car. It's for girly girls. It's certainly not a sports car. It couldn't catch a fat boy on a bicycle.
Great story 5 stars keep up the good work I will read 3 more tonight (jaybee186)
Why does he have to sell the house?The story about selling the firm doesn't sell,he would have to show all details such as sale price,where the money he got for it is.
Jenna and George got away with too much for too long. It left me feeling like they won at the end. I didn't like that, though I loved the story.
Jenna is one of the most horrid women on this site, and George is one of the most horrid men
5 stars.
Unless she doesn't have attorney or he is stupid as hell would not take him/her no time to have business traced to him. When I was practicing CPA didn't have forensic accountant. I could have done it on my worst day.
I know stories are not real But I don't expect stupidity.
And then you would go to jail for fraudulent reporting of assets. If going to try to stick her (and I have no problem with that)at least be not stupid
I’m Polish. The jokes pretty much stopped after the 5th grade. Absolutely has never been an issue in my adult life. This guy must hang around with an incredibly immature group of people.
All that wandering around traveling made no sense. Too much game playing. Confront the two backstabbers and be done with it. Also, his relationship with his daughter was completely unaddressed - so immature on his part - her genetic heritage is not her fault. But he just leaves her without a word? Not bloody likely.
As a person of Polish descent I must say I am 100% loving this story.
To the Anon who pointed out those wonderful Polish facts, here’s a couple mire for you.
5. Looking at the dates of the start on the German invasion to when the Polish government went into exile, and date of the German invasion of France (10 May) to when the French government surrendered, Poland held out longer, with less, without support, and with the Germans invading from the west while the Soviets invaded from the east, than France did with British support and facing only Germany.
6. It was the Polish Winged Hussars who, in September 1683, launched the largest cavalry charge in history, breaking the Ottoman siege of Vienna and sending the Ottoman army into full retreat, effectively saving all of Europe from falling under Ottoman dominion.
zwycięstwo dla Polski!
I've never understood the Polish Joke BS.
They are a great people.
Two historical notes:
WW2, Polish Air Force officers, flying for the RAF, Squadron 303, had the highest number of kills than ANY OTHER Squadron in the RAF. After seeing how the Poles did it, the RAF changed their battle operations to follow suit.
2. The Poles stole the Grrman Enigma machine. The Germans used this device to send top secret orders to their U-Boats in the Atlantic.
3. HOLOGRAM, the Walkie-talkie, foundational in the development of the H-Bomb.
4. The girls are beautiful.
So, enough with the Polish jokes.
PS: I'm not Polish
A good plot line but it was just lacking something, I thought the characters were nearly believable.
Mommy got the daughter she created by her contempt even if she didn't know her husband wasn't the father. Just because you raise a child the lack of emotional attachment will always be a barrier to affection.
I'm sorry, but I couldn't imagine wanting to be in either of those assholes' presence. Four months, four years wouldn't change my feelings that they are scum.
She's a total narcissist: She can't choose between dick #1 and dick #2. In what story or history does she possibly think it is ok to do that. To dress it up like is "romantic" is really lame.
He's a slimy two-faced coward: He has to fuck his "best friend's" wife. With all the pussy in this world and he has to fuck his 'employer's' wife. And act like he's so studly. Studs get NEW PUSSY. They don't hold onto someone else's pussy for dear life.
But seriously, as a man, wouldn't you just slap the shit out of her ONCE--no marks, just to get her attention--find out exactly what's going on under threat of "I'll knock you the fuck out!! Think I won't!!" and just take it from there. She gonna tell you. You not going to jail, yet. I'm just sayin. This whole 'i won't use violence..." bullshit seems only in this fantasy realm.
I mean, if a person thinks they can lie to you without consequence, they probably will. But, if they know you'll hurt them physically, they re-think how much keeping a secret is worth.
Loved the joke in the third paragraph from the bottom of the page nice one 😂.
This story has to many holes and incomplete info on many things so good luck next time I gave it a 2
Great story, was a little sad that their was no love left for the child, even though she wasn’t his..
Good BTB!! The 13yr old is an arrogant disrespectful little bitch!! At that age they know about sex and making babies so she deserved what she got!
If I hadn't been transferred to Syracuse from Chicago I would have married one. She wouldn't go with me. Well done. Great revenge. Keep writing, but watch your editing.
XYZ
My first girlfriend was Polish. Her father was 100% Polack, a big good- natured man with a perpetual smile. He loved to tell Polish jokes; he really got a kick out of them. I almost married his beautiful blonde- haired daughter with the gorgeous smile, but I screwed up. So, he never got to be my father-in-law (my great loss). He is gone now, but I will never forget him. He truly was a beautiful man.
Loved it! Hamtramck, Mi. used to be the POLACK capital of the Midwest.
Their best joke was....Why is the suicide rate so low in Hamtramck??
Hard to kill yourself jumping out of a basement window! LOL
when I was a kid (early 1980's)...someone gave me the "Truly Tasteless Jokebook" Polacks had a whole chapter. many ethnic groups were included as well. My dad eventually pulled the plug on those jokes. He worked really hard to allow our sense of humor, but to teach us to Love and respect people of all races and nationalities. I really believe that we all are created in God's image, one trait we share with all mankind.
Ragnarok1, I love your stories. They are all different, believable (for the most part), and fun. even though your protagonist is usually cheated on, they do a minimal amount of self-loathing, maintain their dignity, and drop the hammer on their cheating wives, either fast or slowly.
what bothered me the most
where i live there are still many who can trace their roots back to poland and not one would be such a whiny worm who has to point out in every second sentence that he is of polish ancestry...
otherwise the usual LW tone so neither particularly good nor particularly bad.
but the child is described in a veeeeerry one-dimensional way
I've grew up in a small town and the big city and I genuinely never heard a single Polish joke...It makes it very hard to relate to this story because it seems so absurd that apparently the whole town hates polish people except his employees
Good story, but he needed more of show down with his "best friend".
He's able to go into a bar with them both after that 15 year long betrayal? I don't think so.
And the points he made about George and the lower standard of living and how he now had next to nothing - don't you think George deserved having that rubbed in his face?
What a complete wuss. Yeah, lets be nice to the cunt having a fifteen year lying and cheating affair, and pay her dennys bill too while we are at it. Smiling all the way.
Good story, well writen: enjoyable.
I have read three of yours, so far. Please keep writing.
Thank you.
Ok. For those of you who disparage people of Polish ancestry, remember this. The Polish Army held out, alone against Nazi Germany, for around 5 weeks. The French, who had a bigger army, more modern aircraft, and the British expeditionary force, held out around 5 weeks, as well. France pretty much surrendered without a fight. In fact, they collapsed so quickly, the British had a hard time, getting back to Britain. I have known several people of Polish descent, in my life time. I have found them to be very protective of their extended families, and distrustful of outsiders. I believe that Polish people have a lot of pride in themselves. I would somewhat compare them, to the current Ukrainians. God help Putin, if he is stupid enough, to start a war with Poland. You DO NOT want to “F” with these people.
So back to the story. I liked it, gave it a 5. But in reality, George would have not come out of this situation unscathed. A beat down, from the “ Polish mafia” at the very least.
So,how did he sell the car lot and where did the money come from.It is not enough to hide the ownership through a multitude of companies,money must change hands to justify owner change.
I thought I had read all your stories - but had not given this one its 5*, so I guess not. I prefer, as in this tale, an ending not overly harsh, but realistically dealing with the cheaters.
George needed to feel a great deal more pain, and should have been sued for child support
I used to read these stories and think that they were ridiculous, and could never happen. Then discovered that something similar had indeed occurred in my circle. The wife simply never gave up her boyfriend from high school. I wish their ending was as satisfying as this one. Great job.
George really screwed up his life and yet he gets away with virtually no penalty. I would have to say that if it we me George would be quickly and deservedly deceased.
House purchased before marriage is not community property. George is liable for back child support since the DNA will prove he is the father.
It would have been funnier at the end if he'd chuckled on the way into Wranglers...
Then when she asked him what was funny he could have *told* them the joke.
We had such high hopes and dreams when we got married?! With George's cum running down her legs?!! WOW
Suspend reality don't compare those two writings . AND that simple two companies buy out that you couldn't hide from any accountant or attorney unless idiots . Sorry sore point retired CPA
Okay story, but damn did you have to put the Polack in a chick car?.....
Not even close in the payback department. 3 stars. Asshole, cunt, and little bitch should have ended up eating and sleeping in dumpsters.
Just so everyone knows, the word Polack, (in Polish) refers to a male Pole and is spelled Polak. A female Pole is Polaka. They are not necessarily derogatory terms. Now when you put an negative adjective with them, that is what is insensitive, racist and offensive. While I am not, my children are of Polish descent, and having been to Poland many times, there is much we could learn from the country and its people. Thank you for a wonderful story.
Great story but a disappointing ending, no word on what happened to George, the wife, and Carrie.
Well told but a little over the top for me : she loves him but she fucks the best man bareback on her wedding night
and he raises the kid his whole life (a real cuckold in fact, as per the bird).
These is the kind of story that in real life would end up as a murder/suicide imho.
Too bad the 3 assholes wouldn't wind up on the street. Jenna and Carrie could may turn tricks to survive and George could be their pimp. with some badass offing the 2 whores and later, as he's starving, their pimp. Not enough bad can happen to Jenna, George and Carrie. Kurt, for once, should win. If he owned the house before marriage, he shouldn't have to split it, that's bullshit...
"Jenna tried to go the abandonment route so she could get all my assets," - Even if she DID get the divorce for abandonment, why would that affect the settlement? Divorces for adultery still get 50-50 splits.
\
"I guess the easy answer is that I liked both of you and I couldn't make up my mind." - Yeah, but she was only honest with one of them, and NOT the one sh presumably loved.
\
She resented him because she knew he wouldn't do what she never even asked him to do.
\
How much of a cunt do you have to be to fuck the best man on the wedding day?
I thoroughly loved the story. Gave it 5 *'s. The only issue I have with it is that depending on the year, mileage, and condition and model, the BMW is worth more than the Miata. If he wanted a sports car, get the beamer z3 or 4. It is a far better car that will retain its value better.
The Carrie thing let this down and not real ending for him, still a solid 4 maybe touching 5 star so have it 5.
Good story, but I felt bad about Carrie. I have daughters. I don't see what you wrote happening. They would've been too many "special times". I gave the story a five, but you let me down with Carrie.
Thanks again, good story.
carvohi
Always a skilled approach to the burn. Even if the legal parts don’t quite match it’s still a great story.
You love and care for a car and it's pays you back with good service.
I am lucky with my with wife, she appreciates what I do for her. But not so with many a guy I have met at work. So boys keep polishing those fenders and changing the oil a car will outlast many a marriage.
From Bob the Polack or maybe just a mix of English, Polish, Russian, Viking, Irish and dash of several others.
Clever
Nicely crafted story with all parties getting their due rewards.
Thanks for sharing
Great story. Well, maybe the daughter could have been more realistic, or maybe the word is sympathetic. At 13, I would think she’d have had more empathy for her father.
But that’s a small point.
I think the following was an in scripted joke.
A chap went into a bar, met some mates, and said “hey, I just heard a great Polack joke. A guy he didn’t know said “Hey, I’m Polish!”
The response was “No worries, I’ll tell it slowly.”
Enjoyed the story! I've heard a lot of polish jokes! I remember back in high school that when Germany rolled into Poland, the Poles attack the tanks with pitchforks and from horseback. Some might think that was crazy, but I've thought about it over the years that had to be the most courageous thing I've ever of of. That's why I've never understood Polish jokes.
The ending of the story could have been a little more drawn out, especially the daughter went from a used car salesman as a father to having a grease-monkey as daddy! That's rich!
I enjoyed it, even though the jokes, “Polack” or not, were pretty lame. Smart move selling his business to a phony blind corporation in another state, but it’s still hard for me to believe a sharp lawyer couldn’t dig out the truth on that one and cause him a lot of trouble. Still, all in all, I enjoyed the story very much. After all, it is fiction, right?
anon !!!!
Poland might have been the 2nd largest, next to the Tsardoms to their east but a majority of their people lived in huts and rural villages no better than the sheds you think early English settlers lived in.
pfffffsttttttt
so there
Only idiots and commoners tell jokes about Poles.They probably never heard names like General Kościuszko, General Puławski, great astronomer, canon Copernicus.
When the first English settlers in America lived in sheds, Poland was the largest empire in Eastern Europe
"Can we go get a drink, for old time's sake?"
"Sure."
Um... fuck no...? Why would I want to have to worry about a couple of pieces of shit stabbing me when i turn my back...?
Maybe other comment correct. All setup for joke
I liked this less the second time I read it. Not sure why he had to delay the confrontation. The second after he heard good old George bragging about his conquest, he should have been on his way to a lawyer. I understand trying to shelter the business, but come on. He should have left the bitch and her ungrateful little daughter just on the lack of respect alone. Not saying it was bad...just seemed like many other stories on here.
Great story though with the joke at the end, it made me wonder if the rest of the story was simply the set up for that joke. Still, very good read.
What a bitch! My kneejerk reaction to the events was seeing George and Jenna die in a horrifying 'used' car crash.
If the author's intentions were for the reader to be completely disgusted with the wife and 'best' friend by the end of the story, then mission accomplished.
*****
That wife devolved into a truly hateful creature. I do like it when the good guy wins, but there is a decency to this guy that I especially liked. Too bad about the kid's attitude. She will grow up to regret her words.
Excellent! Great story. Hey, some of the details of his divorce handling don't wash but I can live with that for a great story.
Just read it a second time. Would like to see a part two where he ends up happy
When he got his revenge I swear all of us were rooting for him. How can a bitch be so stupid. He is the one that keeps her and her lover in good standing and in work and money and yet they're disrespectful to him. Loved it - surely one of the best BTB stories on this website! Full marks to you!
I Thought it was a really nice Story .. He got his revenge by letting the teenagers parents raise her .. Man He got them back for the Disrespect they showed him . I do not blame him at all ..
Enjoyable, if lacking decent ending.
The cheaters got off lightly, but he got to keep a little self respect.
Biggest loser is the daughter, should never have pushed her away. She lost the only real person in her short life.
It needs a happy ending with him getting his own family, one worth keeping.
"So I ask could what Jenna did be forgiven if faced with those other possibilities?"
You're kidding right?
This wasn't some drunken one-off mistake. Jenna cheated on him non-stop for their entire relationship. She was fucking George before the marriage, on her wedding day, then for the next fourteen years! Their only child is George's bastard daughter and Jenna refused to have any more, despite Kurt wanting three kids. Then to top off all her betrayals, Jenna had turned into a vicious shrew, bitching at Kurt constantly for over a year until he couldn't take any more.
What Jenna did to her husband is the stuff murder-suicides are made of!
Forgiveness? No chance.
Great story. Jenna goes directly to the LW hall of fame for evil, disrespectful, cheating wives. Carrie is a nasty, spiteful, clone of mommy. Kurt set them up and then knocked them all down, although much too gently. As he said, "let the swine live in their own muck". I think Carrie Kerry has rare symmetry to it. If George and Jenna can give her a brother, maybe they can name it Harry.
What really broke him out of his fantasy world was the disrespect from his wife and then learning about her affair. The affair was the straw that broke his back and his love. I have one problem with the story; who ever heard of a used car lot closing at 5 PM.
What marriage are you talking about? She was never married to the polack. The entire thing was a fraud. He could probably even have the thing annulled due to the DNA test proving she was involved with the asshole for entirety of the sham marriage. Then he could keep his house, business and restitution from the asshole for upkeep on the brat for 13 years .
Have you ever been cheated on? Has the person you loved betrayed you for no other reason than physical release? Have you had your entire life come crashing down around you? Have you had someone you thought of as a friend be complacent in these actions, then have everyone you know choose the side of the betrayers? If yes, good for you for being so forgiving and moving on with your lives together. If not, you really have no idea what you are talking about. Monogamous relationships have a backbone of loyalty and fidelity, especially if they progress to marriage.
This story although dramatic was so inconcise,like how Carrie had so much disdain for her so-called Dad to refer to him as a Polack,or his wife Jenna disrespecting Kurt and cheating on him on their Wedding Day with George and concieving Carrie.
But in truth women like Jenna and even Carrie have much more complex emotions than Men do,cause they have menstrual cycles that constantly cause them mood swings,and basically anything Carrie and Jenna say isn't necessarily true,they just say shit without thinking,but afterwards they realize their mistakes,unless they really are sorry stuck-up bitches who have no respect for anyone.
Sure Jenna later confessed,but I think her answer was truthful,when she told Kurt she still loved him.As for the cheating itself I think women like Jenna can compartmentalize love and sex separately,if Kurt had just reasoned with Jenna that George was a loser,backstabbing,asshole friend,just using Jenna for sex then Kurt might have pulled Jenna back to him and repaired their marriage.
And about the whole infidelity issue you have to consider everything,like just a few maybe of the following,death in a car accident,cancer or some life threatening illness,or even permanent disability,can one say cheating is worse than those,no,people can get over stuff like that,but to get over a death is almost unbearable.So I ask could what Jenna did be forgiven if faced with those other possibilities?
that he was married to a sociopath and never knew. The two closest people in his life are back stabbing arrogant guiltless monsters, and he never knew. Just makes the whole Polish joke schtick that much worse.
Very convenient that the 13 year old daughter held him in complete contempt, even condoning her mother fucking who was supposed to be her father's best friend. So in the end the Polack lost nothing, except some money. He had no wife, no daughter, no friend. And for 14 years he never knew. Guess he lived a life of bliss.
Thanks for the effort.
A guy goes into his office and says; "I just heard a great polish joke..."
"Hey!" Says one of the guys,"I'm Polish!"
"No worries, l'll tell it slowly."
Seriously really well written
Chilley
I can't understand why he got so much grief for being Polish. Now, being a used car dealer, I can understand the hassle!
