What could be
better than doing about 90 loads of laundry in the 90-degree,
90-percent-humidity Chicago heat? How about hauling the 90 loads
of laundry up three flights of stairs twice?

"Hello?"
"Is this Wanda?"
"Yeah...who's calling?"
"This is Andy!"
"Uh..."
"You remember! Andy!
From high school!"
"I'm afraid I don't...oh, wait a minute."
"See, you remember!"
"Oh, my God!"
"Uh huh!"
"Oh, my God. I remember you and Marty Leffler stole that garbage
truck from the city vehicle impound lot..."
"Right!"
"And you filled the back of it with half-melted caramels you got from
the dumpster at the Brach's factory and let them sit out in the sun for
like three days..."
"Five!"
"No way!"
"For real."
"And then you ripped off those, what were they, fire extinguishers?"
"They were freon dispensers."
"Right, and then you drove over to Dean Schnyder's house and threw
weighted raccoons at his window until he came out to chase you..."
"He wasn't the dean then. He was the principal!"
"Oh, awesome! And then we he was running behind the truck, you
opened up the back and he got stuck inside this huge gush of molten
caramels..."
"He was like a fly stuck in amber, man."
"And then you and Marty sprayed him with the freon dispensers and froze
him solid and brought him to the gym!"
"Yeah! Exactly!"
"Man, that was the best homecoming ever."
"Uh...we didn't do it at homecoming."
"What?"
"That was Andy Horowitz who
did it at homecoming. I'm Andy Scheffman.
I did it for junior prom."
"Oh. Uh, oh. Okay. Well, what's up?"
"Well, I was just wondering if you wanted to go out with me sometime."
"Geez...I'd love to, Andy, but I'm married now! I married Ben
Kiesler."
"Are you serious?"
"Well, you know, we dated all through high school, and..."
"When did you date Ben Kiesler? I thought you went out with Gary
Bowman."
TODAY'S DRIFTWOOD: "The stuido, the room to whcih the artist consigns
himself for life, is naturally important, not only as workplace, but as
a source of inspiration. And it usually manages, one way or
another, to turn up in his product."
