Once upon a time in the exciting land of Facebook, where this comment stood out the most under a post. The topic of this endless debate was about the '1976 Class Reunion' an 'All White Affair'.
However, what followed were a series of colorful comments from one particular person - Mr. Bailey. His comments did more than stand out, they became a moment of amusement and laughter for everyone following the thread.
Mr. Bailey, a regular contributor to all previous class reunions, was deeply offended on not having been included in the decision to decide the dress code, his anger in the first comment itself.
Mr. Bailey: How you gonna tell everybody what wear? You don’t know what’s in my closet.
Emojis rolled out of readers when the Director Mrs. Jenkins politely told him it was a the voter’s decision. Yet, that did nothing to convince him his displeasure.
Mr. Bailey: I contributed and been to every reunion we had and we didn’t vote on dress code for none them.
Director Mrs. Jenkins: We decided to do it a different way for this year reunion.
Mr. Bailey: I knew when they appointed you as the director it was going to be messed up just like back when we was in dating in high school.
He continued, taking more jabs at the director, complaining
When Mrs. Jenkins requested him to keep their personal matters off this Facebook thread, he simply shrugged off, claiming that he couldn’t care less. While some readers sent shaking my head and rolling their eyes emoji’s, while others continued to get amused.
Next came the feisty Mrs. Jackson, who is tired of Mr. Bailey’s obstinacy and texted:
Mrs. Jackson: If you don’t have nothing all white just don’t go.
And before anyone could react, Mr. Bailey responded to her text.
Mr. Bailey: Who the hell you telling don’t go. I know one thing you better not go with that same wig on your head that you wore to the last two reunions.
Mrs. Jackson: Ooh, I can’t stand him.
Laughing emojis floated around as more classmates jumped in the delightful conversation between Mrs. Jackson and Mr. Bailey.
The thread got hotter, comments fired up faster and amidst it all, the ’76 reunion, for sure, got way more popular than any of their previous reunions. All thanks to the one-man-army Mr. Bailey, who gave a masterclass on 'How to set Facebook threads on fire!'.
P.S. Everyone was stunned when Mr. Bailey showed up. He had on all black and on the back of his sport blazer in white writing read: Death To The 1976 Class Reunion because this the last one.
