Play # 11 - A Seiler

If you don’t have one, get one. Seiler is a reference to a jovial acquaintance of the author. Well known for his tomfoolery, Seiler is generally regarded by the ladies, including his wife, as a buffoon. But, few are more fun over a beer.

So what is a Seiler? It’s a truly boneheaded move with full awareness and apathy with respect to the outcome. A Seiler is indifferent to social norms or mores. He is apt to walk around a formal dinner party completely naked or ride a motorcycle into your house. This makes him a topical source of enjoyment, particularly among males. Also, from the women’s perspective, Seilers make the rest of us look good; so it serves us well to share tales of his endeavors. It is best to know a Seiler than be one, for one’s credibility within his relationship and his wife’s closest female friends diminishes or ceases to exist upon extended Seiler-like behavior.
