What can I tell you about my friend Jake? I've known him for 20 years; we even went to grade school together.What can I tell you about my friend Jake? I've known him for 20 years; we even went to grade school together. He's, to put it mildly, a bit eccentric. To be completely honest, he's crazy. That's probably why I like him. Whatever we do, it's fun. For years, he has planned what he terms adventures for us to embark uponm. They are always odd but extremely intresting. This is the story of our latest one. Naturally, since we've grown up, we don't see much of each other. Once a month or so the last several years has been the extent of our contact. He called last night and asked me over to watch Monday Night Football. I eagerly accepted. Not just because the Bears were playing, but because I have always had a fascination for Jake and his antics. I know that football will not be the only, and maybe not even the primary entertainment of the evening. Well, I got there an hour before kickoff as he had suggested. After catching Jake up on my life, I asked him what he has been up to lately. Mistake # 1. He told me and I listened. Mistake #2. Jake told me how he went to a bar called the Queen Mary in LA during his last business trip. He proceeded to tell me how all the waitresses, the entertainers and even the hat check girl were really men dressed as women. For some reason, this entire thing really intrigued Jake. Now, by this time, you have to realize we had two pretty stiff drinks and were working on the third. |
