Women and Lies
A woman can sleep with
three men in one day
and still not be promiscuous.
She can just use euphemisms
and innovative bookkeeping.
It goes like this:
I met Jerry at 8:30 AM.
We started dating at 9:15.
But he just wasn't growing.
So we broke up.
At 2:12 PM I ran into Bill.
We started seeing each other.
But we had different goals.
So we agreed to see other people.
Dennis (4:29) was clean cut,
and above all, loyal.
So we started going out.
We were building a life together,
until 6:11, when I heard he had been
with another woman the day before.
So I ended our RELATIONSHIP.
I had given them all
the best minutes of my life.
