CAVEAT EMPTOR!

I was over a friend's place drinking Scotch and eating pizza and watching the Simpson's. On the way home, I passed through the most lavender section of town. It was cool--I was wearing 501's and a new riding jacket, epaulets and all. Well, as I pass Spruce St. Video(largest collection of all-male films in the city) a pay phone rings on the rack outside the store. I think this is kinda cool so I pick it up. What follows is the conversation:


He:  Hi.

Me:  Hello.

He:  What's your name?

Me:  Rich.

He:  What do you do?

Me:  I write, I run computer networks, whatever pays...

He:    What are you into?

Me:  Leather.

He:  I can see that.

Me:  You can see me?  

He:  Uh-huh.  You got a nice cock?

Me:  I'm quite attached to it, yeah.

He.  You're funny.

Me:  And you're horny.  Keep talking.  You like what you see?

He:  Yeah.  Show me your cock.

Me:  I would, but last time I did it cost me 30 days.

He:  Really?

Me:  No.  So you *do* like what...

He:  I do.

Me:  I'm no Colt model, but I *was* in last month's 'International 

     Male'

He:  Really??!!  Hold on, I'll get the--

Me:  No, I mean, I was just leafing through it at the supermarket.

He:  Huh?

Me:  Never mind.

He:  So what are you into, besides "leather"?

Me:  Oh, infantilism, extreme cock and ball torture, woodshed     

     discipline, electrotorture, branding, hydraulic

     irrigation, cutting, scatplay, piercing...

He:  Shit.  I was just looking to get fucked.

Me:  That's *sooooo* mid-70's.  In fact, this whole pick-up has a

     very mid- 70's feel...

He:  Piercing?  My old roommate has an ampallang.

Me:  Oh yeah?  I have an 'ampersand'.

He:  What the hell's that?

Me:  It's like an ampallang, only grittier.

He:  Shit.  I was just looking to get fucked.

Me:  Trust me.  You just did.  

And I shined up an epaulet an headed away, praying I wouldn't get shot in the back. I didn't. Now that I think about it, it was kinda mean, but hey, if you're gonna call a pay phone at random to pick someone up, well, you know... CAVEAT EMPTOR!
