While I Multi-Task Pie and Laundry....


I learned at a tender age not to take candy from strangers. Why would I take a drink from a stranger? Especially considering how numerous people I've met in this city have had experience with doped drinks? So if you meet a girl you've never seen before at a bar and think she's the cat's pyjamas, don't go buy a drink and bring it to her. Don't insist she drink it. If you really want to get her a drink, order it in front of her when she's at the bar, where she can see nothing was slipped into it.
