"Butt Pic"

Howard is a 44 year old father of two originally from Kansas. We started off the "natural" Internet dating way - with a few emails. We then progressed to IM'ing, then - naturally - texting. While I was watching the Olympics, Howard called me. We spoke for 2 1/2 hours!! Not too many red flags popped up during the course of the conversation. He was a little full of himself - going on an on about what a great real estate developer he was. When he wasn't talking about that, he was yammering on about his two children and how wonderfully athletic they were. Like I said, I was watching the Olympics. We did manage a fun conversation about Kansas and about pets, etc. When I realized how late it was, I told him I had to go to sleep. Minutes later, he texted me asking if I liked him (I suppose he was looking for some kind of review?). I said "sure". He then wrote back asking if I wanted to see a "butt pic". I wrote back "What?!?" He said that it was a funny picture his buddy had taken at Lake Powell and that I should keep in mind it was hot that day. With much trepidation, I said "sure". The next morning (still butt-pic-less) he wished me a "good morning" and we exchanged a few texts. Then came the butt pic. Picture if you will, a man with only a shirt on - bending over (with his ass to the camera), legs akimbo, adjusting a TV. A lot to digest, I know. As I tried to recuperate, I shot over a text: "wow - tmi". "hahaha -that's me!" is what he wrote back. I wondered what in our previous evening's conversation would have lead him to believe that I would want or appreciate the "butt pic" now forever scorched into my memory. Nothing vulgar was said nor heard. A true puzzlement. I wrote him that, in case he wasn't em-bare-assed by sending me that impossibly vulgar picture, he should be. I also told him that the next time he offered to send the picture to someone else, he should rightly call it his "look at my dangling balls and butt hole" pic.
Enough said about that.

****6/18/10 - I was going through my phone message memory (for whatever reason?!) and came across the aforementioned "butt pic" in the trash bin! And here I thought the tale would go down into the annals of history without a visual!
