[Drumming fingers]

Now let me get this straight you. I spend the last two years -- two years mind you -- trying to find one lousy stinking customer in Dallas. Phone call after phone call. E-mail after e-mail. To where I finally have to resort to convincing my company that we need to enter a new line of business supplying hideous, garishly oversized corsage materials (this being something of a departure from our traditional telecom equipment biz). And finally I sell this admittedly laughable bill of goods to my visibly skeptical management. I even agree to fly coach and stay in a Best Western ferchrissakes.

And what?? What, I ask you?? "Forever Cyber." That's all I need. Me, privileged to be the one and only Coffee Shop denizen you wouldn't meet for love or money. Not even an airport audience with Her Insouciance.

Look. One lousy kiss of the ring is all I ask. I'll do anything. Almost. I'll wear those stupid silk camoflauge shorty shorts you were talking about, I'll walk off the friggin' plane in 'em doin' an impression of Fred Astaire singin' in the rain. Hell, I'll even fly American.
