After all, it&#8217;s your wedding present. I&#8217;ll either need two Percodan and one hell of a pep talk or a lot of liquor. Oh, since you might be wondering, I&#8217;d be willing to go 2&#8243; to 4&#8243; on the longest side. And, yes, I would likely get my favorite tattooed for color. The price? You have to come slumming with me. Not in Virginia Beach either, not some dive hole in the wall. A beer and shot bar with an urn of pickled eggs on the counter. A bonfire in a trailer court. The lowest I&#8217;ve sunk.<\/p><p>You know, seriously? I&#8217;ve had friends from a wide array of backgrounds and I feel I&#8217;ve done nothing but benefit from it. I haven&#8217;t seen the opulence you have, but I&#8217;ve seen enough to pretend to be nonplussed at essentially anything. One of my roommates was the president of the student body of Virginia Tech, though not the year I lived with him. I have a friend that started a software company, Logi Analytics, that he sold in 2021. I don&#8217;t know how it did under his stewardship, but it now pulls in $15.4M in revenue. I have another friend who gives guitar lessons. Who cares? One friend, and I&#8217;m slow to use that word, dropped out of school in the seventh grade, has had his jaw broken three or four times in bar fights, has done a year in prison, and has a knife scar that has to be seen to be believed. Oh, and a crack habit the size of the five boroughs. When Elaine was raped, I told her to call Doug and the guy who raped her was gone the next day. Neither had your typical childhood experience and I knew he could reach her. And come up with something good to do to the guy. He would have been her first stable, long term relationship in this world. I&#8217;m proud to call Doug a friend. Incidentally, if you ever want to see life from the other side, his last name is Crockett and he lives in Salem, Virginia. Get a free three-day subscription to Intellus and get his number. Tell him a little bit about us. He&#8217;d never call me. And, please, thank him for his time. Doug might not be in the  mood to talk to you, though generally he&#8217;ll talk your ear off. Oh, this is the most important thing! At some point as him, &#8220;What do I really need to be doing?&#8221; Make sure you use exactly those words. Lastly, if there&#8217;s a lull in the talk, ask him if he knows any jokes. Ask him what makes the joke funny after he tells it too. Believe me, you&#8217;ll come away with a smile.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh, this is the most important thing!
