KILL HIM

or kick him out.

see i have a rule for guests, it's called "the 2-night rule". i abide by it as guest or host. it's based on an old roman proverb my dad likes to quote, and it goes like this: "guests are like fish, after the 3rd day they stink". or something like that.

my experience boiled down the "3 days" to actually "2 nights". the 3rd night is usually the shitty one. days are nothing.

so when someone asks me if they can stay at my place, i say, without hairs in my tongue (sorry, spanish expression), "yes, for 2 nights".

now there are cases when people have stayed longer or i've stayed longer but that means you have to buy groceries, cook, do the cleanup, buy presents, and generally make yourself invisible most of the day. we recently did that in a trip to dc and we've been invited back.

mooches who leave their underwear in the middle of the living room, drink everybody else's beer and make themselves seen & heard too much need to be kept to the 2 night schedule.

if that doesn't work, you could pepper him with leeches

oh, the joy!

but 2 nights. that's all.
