Porter's Notebook
Ping Pong

“Morning, man.”

“It’s half past eleven.”

“Uhhh. Yeah.”

“What happened to you last night? You get drunk?”

“Scotch. Scotch happened.”

“I thought you were gonna take it easy.”

“There might have been a girl involved.”

“Oh yeah?”

“She rolls up next to me and says ‘where’s your shot?’ and I said ‘What?’”

“Suave. Let me guess, then you said you already had a drink?”

“What? I already had like most of a glass of scotch.”

“Again you did this? You’re an idiot. First that gorgeous blonde at that party and now this.”

“I know.”

“You know what that means, Casanova? When a girl comes up to you in a bar and offers to buy you a drink?”

“Uhhh.”

“I get it. It’s understandable. You’re oblivious, but it’s a simple social interaction. Like the opening serve of verbal ping pong.”

“Hahaha.”

“Don’t laugh, man. Basically what happened is this girl said to you ‘Hey, I wanna fuck.’ and your dumb ass came back with ‘No thanks, honey. I’m already fucked.’”

“Oh man.”

“Nice job. You fail at ping pong.”
