How many drinks does it take...to forget her? How many? Here I am, sittin' in a crummy speakeasy, plunkin' on my greasy laptop and countin' the minutes that go by while I polish off another glass of scotch on the rocks. I been in this friggin' place too long. Chicago, I mean, not "Denny's". Well, maybe I been in "Denny's" too long too. Hard to say at this point. After awhile everything turns to shit.

I remember the time we had a dance. Me and her. It coulda been a better dance than it was, cos I was under a lotta pressure that night, but it was the only dance we ever had. She was in my arms for a coupla minutes, long enough to smell her perfume and note the softness of her pale skin and the strength in her delicate, long-fingered hands.

She was a real classy dame. The kind that ain't kiddin' when she says, "You're special." She was special. I ain't never forgotten her, not even while I was danglin' out of a 16th floor window, and countin' the seconds between then and eternity.

I'm gettin' old. I saw another buncha grey hairs in the mirror last night. Maybe my time is runnin' out. Where could she be tonight? In what port and in what place will she lay down to sleep tonight?

Sorry, CC, but ya' can't drown yer sorrows by teachin' 'um to swim... Really hate to break it to ya, pal, but this is gonna go on forever...

Yes, you will wake up in cold sweats, you'll pace the floor, you'll wonder where she is, who she's with, if she remembers that dance and even at times... you'll wonder if she ever existed...

So my advice to you is simple... Put the bottle down, take the elevator back up to the 16th floor, go to the window and...




















...jump...

All yer anquish will be over in ten minutes if you'll just jump... I promise... Okay, maybe eleven minutes dependin' on how long you have to wait fir the danged elevator...

Best of luck...

Chongo, your problem is that you're a friggin' chimp! You chimps, as a group, are so damned repressed that when one of you does finally loosen up a bit and let his hair down he friggin' "falls in love" with whatever he's been stickin' his doink into. Lighten up! It's just sex! It's physical and it's fun. You want love, get a dog. They're no fun to fuck, but they don't leave.
