He said he thought
the T.V. guy was
handsome. He wasn’t
used to doing that. He
was much more into pointing
out good-looking women
on the screen, but sometimes
his wife would frown,
so he thought turn
around is fair play and,
aesthetically, the guy
looked pretty nice —
good hair and all,
so he said it. Is that
really turn around? Her
response was that the
T.V. guy was too
perfect. “Too perfect?”
“Yeah, I like a little
bit of a bad boy –
not too much, just
enough.” He smiled
a sheepish, shit-eating
smile and said, “Really?”
“Really,” she smiled
back and that was
that for then.
