It is a bit fierce Steve.
It's a sociological accident actually. I just happened, due to forces beyond my control, to have hung-out with a lot of experienced men and when they were being garrulous and witty. I started my campaign at 18 being told by such men, one or two elderly and very well educated ones too, never to stay in to such an extreme that you sit in the park till the pubs close if you have no money and have to act pissed when you get home and to keep a secret bank account. In Ireland for preference. Like Maverick used to keep a $1,000 bill pinned up his sleeve.
If ever you think you know what a woman is up to slap your forehead with your hand. That's the point of greatest danger. Obviously all the ladies will say I'm barmy. They would wouldn't they on the "never smarten up a chump" principle.
Vic, one of my mates, has been recently cleaned out. And he had been married 35 years. She said she wanted to "LIVE!!!!!!" before it was too late. I should write a book about Vic. He's a suburban Dom Quixote. Another got out after fifteen years with £10 grand and nowhere to live. I get derison because I haven't had a by-pass.
The Mona Lisa looks at you with benign pity. And that Olympia!!!!
Anyway-- it's unfair to criticise my batsqueaks when they have the whole media made over (Except VIZ). Mathos protests with every fibre of his being against it.
I find it a fair match. They might have only one shot in their locker but it's a bunker-buster and no mishtake. (RIP). Look how often smorgsi alludes to it.
