Sam's The Name (Fiction)

Sam's the name, enjoying life is my game and that Halloween when I saw Sally I knew she had to be my next
dame.

I was at Joe's place sucking down some liquid of the alcoholic type when I first saw her at the pool table.
She was playing with all the balls but none were going in the holes.

She was a redhead. Man, I am a sucker for redheads. I bought her a drink and offered to help her improve her
game. I put my hands on hers as I showed her how to handle the pool cue.

But she got mad! At me, of all people. Like I did something wrong.

"You think you're hot stuff, do ya? Just because you can play pool," she said.

Man, what a talker.

Well, I let her know that I am indeed hot stuff and will accept any dare she challenged. She thought a minute
at that and I could tell she was thinking because her eyes were less jumpy.

She took a drag on her cigarette and said, "I want you to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. You do that and
I will sleep with ya."

Sure, baby, I can do that, I told her. I got in my Dodge, drove to the falls and found the place I was
looking for: Barrels-R-Us.

A couple tourist-types gawked at me as I approached the falls holding the barrel.

"You ain't really gonna do it, mister, are you?" a girl asked loudly.

Hmmm. Was I? I wasn't sure. I started to think about how I can con her, if I just ripped the barrel up a
little and stepped into a shower I might pull this off.

I was just about to figure out how to do this con best when I saw her. She was pulling into a nearby parking
lot, apparently curious about what stupidity she can inspire in man.

She was dressed all in black. What a kidder. Or was that just her Halloween costume? I thought the veil was a
bit much but who asked me?

So I did it. I jumped.

I won't go into the details except to say that I am writing this from my hospital bed.

She kept her end of the bargain and has spent several hours with me in recent days.

Her lips taste almost as good as scotch.

And since I can't have scotch in this place she will do just fine.

It's like she says, "A relationship without sex these days is like a cup without a bottom." And boy do I like
her bottom.

    I read this a long time ago and tried to reference it in a conversation with you but I probably failed to do it properly. But I'm glad I've got a link to it now. I need to re-reference this when I need a smile.
