The Morning After

Oh, hey guys. Just happened to stumble across this pic of me after a one-night stand with a guy, two midgets and a Black & Decker power drill. Not bad, right?
Much to my chagrin, I do NOT look like this after a night of hard drinkin' and hard shaggin'. By 6:47 AM my mascara and eyeliner have cut a wide swath from my eyelids to both pillows and sheets, the MAC matte Ruby Woo red lipstick that made my lips pout just so has now left a Ragu-spaghetti sauce ring around my mouth and nose, my hair looks like a suitable nesting place for a family of field mice, and my breath could kill small animals and children within a 3-mile radius. If I miraculously make it to a bathroom mirror before the screw-fest and I can see less than 5 of me, I may be able to wipe some of it off. But see, I can't take it all off, because when I wash my face I look like a ghastly version of Aunt Edith, may she rest in peace. And you didn't take home Aunt Edith.
I do have a girlfriend who will have sex, pretend to fall asleep, get up, REAPPLY her makeup, and then go back to bed. That's just insane. It takes 3 hours for me to put my face on once a night. If I had to do it more then I might as well enroll in clown school.
You know the solution to this, don't you. It makes perfect sense: DON'T STAY OVER.
And yet, over and over, as I awake to a ray of blinding sunlight in my blood-shot eyeball and the glass-chewing chatter of a morning radio DJ, I think, ah fuck. I did it again. Let the Walk of Shame begin.















You know who's most likely in your office to bang Tina the hot receptionist, Jenny from Sales and Melissa in HR? No, I'm sorry, Norm in Accounting, even after those six Lemon Drops and eight Bud Lights at the company summer outing, you still have no chance in hell. Nope, it's your friendly neighborhood UPS guy. He's always super nice (I think that's one of their hiring requirements), nice legs and arms (all that lifting), always carrying a decent-sized package (run with that one!) and has to take off just when the conversation starts to get interesting. And that just leaves us wanting more.
