It was on the very first day of January that a man named Kirk Lancaster had left his apartment and headed for the nearest RTA stop to catch a bus to work.
But as soon as he got to that stop, Kirk saw his best friend Richard Spencer sitting on the bench like someone stole his lunch money and left him for dead.
"Are you okay, Rich? You seem to be down about something.", said a concerned Kirk, only to have Rich look at his own best friend with angry eyes and say, "I saw what you did last night, you heartless creep!"
And when Kirk scratched his head and asked, "What are you talking about, Rich?", the angry friend got off the bench, looked at Kirk straight in the eyes and yelled, "YOU KNOW FULL WELL WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT! YOU SLEPT WITH MY WIFE!"
And after he turned around and began staring at a wall, Rich took a deep breath and said, "And the worst part of that night is that while I was gawking at you from the hotel balcony, the witch looked up and smiled at me like she was really enjoying it!"
That was when Kirk cleared his throat, placed his hand on Rich's shoulder and said, "Look, Rich. I really am sorry about what you saw last night. But what do you expect? It was New Year's Eve and everyone was so smashed while celebrating that they were unable to tell right from wrong. And yes, that does include me and Jessica."
Of course, that made Rich turn around, lower his head in shame and say, "Sorry, Kirk. Sometimes, I tend to forget.", just before the bus showed up and an understanding Kirk said, "No harm done. Come on. Let's share a seat."
Barbara McDowell was driving on a road in the outskirts of San Diego, California and checking out the scenery of nature just before she slowed her car to a stop because she spotted her best friend Joyce Edelman walking on that same road with only sunglasses and a pair of white shoes on.
After she allowed Joyce to get into her Ford Focus and started driving again, a concerned Barbara took a deep breath and asked, "Why were you out on the road and naked as a jaybird?", only to have Joyce sigh and answer, "It's a long story."
But after Barbara had pulled over to the side of the road and said, "Tell me that story, anyway.", Joyce took off her sunglasses, looked at Barbara straight in the eyes and asked, "Do you remember what I was doing last night at the Fluxx nightclub?"
"I sure do. You got yourself so smashed from gulping down that whole keg of Budweiser that some guy had to volunteer to take you home in his pickup.", answered Barbara while she was looking for something for Joyce to cover up with.
"His name was Todd Holcomb. And I really must've been totally drunk because I was unable to stop him from fucking me on the side of this road!", said Joyce with a tear leaking out of her eye and before Barbara took out a Kleenex and said, "Let me guess. After he pulled over, that son of a bitch pulled you out of his truck, stripped you naked and fucked the living shit out of you. Right?"
And after she nodded her head, Joyce took the Kleenex and said, "And when I woke up this morning, that asshole was gone along with his truck and my purse and clothes! I'm so stupid!"
