David glanced at the note, which read "She doesn't swallow, does she?" He fought hard not to laugh as he handed it to Marder. Marder did laugh out loud, and then held it up for Chico to see. His timing couldn't have been more perfect; Chico had just raised a glass to his lips, and just as he read the note he laughed hard enough to spray beer all over the table. "Chico!" Denni complained. "Do you mind?" "Sorry," he said, still giggling as he wiped his mouth.

"Okay, what was all that laughing about?" she demanded, irritated. Marder glanced up at her and said "We were just discussing an aspect of your personal development that you hadn't achieved yet. |
