A Two-Squeezer Event

OK, let’s get this part over with. I was meeting my former colleagues from the CELTA training class I took last year. This was the killer class I took to certify me to teach EFL in Malta.
Anyway, I wanted to look for the five women and one man who were going to be there. So I had to wear two squeezers. For those of you who don’t know, many people refer to these undergarments as body shapers.
The first one squeezes in the extra, well, uh---FAT—on your hips and thighs. Then the second one squeezes in the bulges made by the first one—which flattens everything out but then pushes it up. You know what I mean.
The hardest part about this is the usual—going to the bathroom—because it takes a good amount of time to get these things up and down.
So I went with my squeezers (covered by regular nice clothes, of course). We ate at a pretty good restaurant called Amigo’s in Sliema. Everyone was happy to see everyone else. We all remembered how bad the CELTA was at the time, we complained about our current teaching situations—employed and not making enough money or unemployed (I’m in the second category with at least one other teacher). And then we left, promising to get together all again soon—which probably won’t happen.
Come to think of it, the most interesting thing about this event were the two squeezers….

They were all good, Willy! Email me if you want me to tell you about different individuals. Sorry you couldnt be there but everyone says hi. Im not quite sure I like people loving me with the way I am....BTW, I had a total hate relationship with the toilets in school because they would never flush right! And I didnt want to get blamed for someone elses.... uh.....leftovers. xxxx Ilene

Hi Ilene,
How were they all ?
I'm sorry I couldn't be there, but then of course, I didn't know there was a reunion!
Why on earth did you bother with the squeezers, we all know and love you the way you are! Don't tell me you wore them in class as well!Although it would explane your hate-love relation with the school bathroom.
Love,
Willy
