THE LAND OF MAYBE:
Advice and Stories of Love and Loss
Intermission
Me calling in to the Larry King Show during a "Why are you up?" night:
LK: Hello Sacramento. This is Larry King. Why are you up?
Me (sounding upset): I just found out my wife's cheating on me, and I'm just up sorting things out.
LK: Too bad. What do you do for a living?
Me: I'm a college student.
LK: Gee, that's rough. What does she do?
Me: Uh, she's uh...stripper. Well, basically a dancer in a nude bar.
LK: Well, you certainly took a chance with that one.
Me: Yeah, it was just one of those things. Just one of those things.
LK: Thanks for calling.

I should've made some comment about look who's talking Mr. Married-Seven-Times, but you know how things work. You never think of the good things until it's too late.
I've got it on tape, so one day there'll be an mp3 of it here.
