The Joke He Never Saw Coming
A week later, I hosted a small gathering at my place. Casual. Low-key. I invited a few friends—including his.
Ryan showed up curious, unaware.
The room was decorated in black and gold. Balloons floated near the ceiling. A banner stretched across the wall:
“Congrats on Going Bald!”
At the center sat a cake, perfectly frosted, reading:
“Manifesting It Early!”
His face drained of color.
“You think this is funny?” he snapped.
I smiled calmly. “Didn’t you?”
He stormed out.
Behind him, laughter erupted. Even his friends knew the joke had gone too far.
