After reading this an old CCR song came to mind - "Travellin' Band" - don't know if ya remember it but a line from it got to going around in my head : "someone got excited had to call the state militia"

Meanwhile back at the oasis the Arabs are eating their dates and I can't forget the erection I got in seventh grade homeroom class everytime I looked at her in 1954. The only girl in that whole got damed junior high school who could do that to me just by crossing my field of visual sensation.

Now that I am a dirty old man it is not one woman I want anymore.

Monday morning what you doing mingo.

I got to wooork to day drag my fingers over the key board for at least four or five hours make 50 bucks maybe, not a bad days work for me. What with that and the money I make from the bus driving job and my ss retirement check, hell I could probably afford a wife.

Amazing that I have even a trickle of testosterone left, but even so it still gnaws me the ache,
