(Spoken)
OK, so I'm riding around in this car with this woman that I'm close to a couple times a
week. And I'm noticing she's looking out of the window and noticing other women, how
this one looks,Isn't her hair lovely? What a nice outfit...
I said, Babe, what is the DEAL? You're noticing all these other chicks... maybe...
you're a lesbian.
She looks at me and she says,I wish I was a lesbian.
Now, at that point I wanted to say, You mean 'you wish you were a lesbian' because,
grammatically... But I let it slide. I didn't wanna ruffle any feathers.
But, ya know, that sentence, that retort, "I wish I was a lesbian"...kinda stuck in the
ole Laud-o's mind. kinda gestated there for seven, eight minutes then this tune popped out...
