A FEW WORDS OF ADVICE (June 27, 2003)
This evening I spotted a couple in their mid-twenties necking in the park behind my house. He was Indian and she Chinese. He was dressed in black and she in red. They looked good together. Every now and then I would check their progress, but it was clear little ground was being gained. From time to time I felt like shouting a few words of advice, but each and every time I checked myself. In the end, they parted having accomplished next to nothing. A grope here, a grope there, but that was all. Perhaps I should have shouted a few words of advice: “Go for the crotch, stupid!”
