Where’s The Beef?

Maggie and her brides’ maids could barely contain their enthusiasm. The wedding was six days away and it was time to enjoy one last fling before Maggie transformed into a married woman by uttering those life changing words, “I do.” That was in the future. Tonight was time for one final outing as a single lady with her friends. She had no idea where they were going and what to expect as everything had been planned by her friends. All she knew was it was time to get the party started.

A limo arrived promptly at eight o’clock and transported the intrepid five to a swanky-looking dinner theater known for its fine cuisine and great stage shows. The girls had been dieting for weeks so they would look superb in their overpriced gowns, but tonight the starvation was over. Alice, Maggie’s bride’s maid and oldest friend announced that she had ordered steaks all around. Referring to and old Wendy’s commercial she proclaimed, “Tonight we will find the beef!”

Maggie went silent as a look of concern crossed her face.

“What’s the matter, Mags,” inquired Alice?

“This place is ridiculously expensive. You don’t have this kind of money to waste on one night. At least let me share the cost.”

“That’s our practical Maggie. Don’t worry about it. My new boyfriend works here and got us a huge discount. All you need to do is enjoy your meal and the show.”

The friends were seated, and smartly dressed waiters served their perfectly prepared meals. Just as they finished dessert the lights dimmed, fast paced heavy drum infused music began to play and a disembodied voice announced, “Ladies and Gentlemen the show you have all been waiting for, The Thunder from Down Under.”

Five well built shirtless men pranced onto the stage and proceeded to strut their stuff. Alice leaned over to Maggie and attempted to talk over the music.

“The second one from the right is my new boyfriend. We’ll go backstage after the show, and I’ll introduce everyone. After all, you’re not married yet, Mags. Well ladies, I told you we’d find the beef.”
