Nov.14.01 A recent phone conversation between C. and myself: (ring, ring) Me: Hello? C: Hi, it's me! Me: Are you on your way home now? C: Yes, I'm walking to the train right now. You're still picking me up at the stop so we can go to the thing tonight, right? Me: Yeah, I was just getting ready to leave. C: I wanted to ask you for a favor. Me: Okay, what? C: Well, I just got a whiff of myself, and frankly, I smell. Can you bring a clean shirt with you...and my deodorant too? I hate to put deodorant on a stinky body, but since we're in a hurry... Me: Ew, gross! Okay, I'll do it. Which shirt should I bring for you? And what about pants? Are you okay with your pants? (pause, then muted laughter on C.'s end) C: Heh, yeah, I think I'm okay with my pants...(guffaw, guffaw) What a punk-ass, my husband.
