    About this ebook

    Matthew was in love with the lovely Glenda Robinson. He wanted to make a good impression on their first date. But he wore a hairpiece that had a penchant for blowing away when he was driving a sports car. He feared this would happen at the time when he least wanted this. Alas, it did blow off on his first date with Glenda. Her reaction was priceless.
