That's no rug. |
I own a sexy sweater. Haters with no appreciation for texture claim it looks like a rug. Big Red gave it to me. "Chicks really dig this sweater", he told me. I trusted his judgment. Despite his obesity, he had a real knack for getting laid.
Big Red and I shared an apartment for one year. We were both trying to slow down. I needed to hit the books and graduate from college. He was recovering from a divorce, and a crystal meth habit. We rode bicycles, played racquetball, and played chess. That was our entertainment for the year.
That was the simple life. I didn't even have to work. Rent was $100/month. Beat that. It was a $600/month, two bedroom apartment. A guy named JR came along. He was homeless and had a lot of money. A rare combination indeed. He wanted his own room, so we charged him $300/month. Big Red's uncle was in town three days every month. He anted up $100/month to sleep on the couch. Some simple math: $300+$100+$100+$100 = $600.
