chili-dogs?"
A BLACK ROSE says, "I'm sorry; I accidentally ran over your dog
as it was lying asleep in your driveway. I sincerely hope this has no effect on our relationship as I would, in all likeli-hood never find another woman to date as long as I live. Due to my little acne problem. And the warts. Oh, who am I kidding? You couldn't possibly be attracted to a guy like me. It's the money, isn't it? Well, you can have all eleven million. I'll just be lying on the sidewalk in front of my 12-story apartment building until the fine officers come and scrape my lifeless sack of bones from the bloodied pavement. Burn in hell, you bittttttt---"
A PURPLE ROSE says, "I like you a great deal but my son is
