You see I’d go out to clubs and sit by myself like a dejected loser hunched over the bar and sipping my beer and hoping just hoping that a pretty young lady would come and talk to me. Every once and again one of them would. I would buy her drinks tell her my sob story and she would graciously sit there and listen because I was pouring drinks into her. She would pat me on the back offer me patronizing there there s and then ask that we do a round of lemondrops for her and her friends.
