When I was a young man of something like 19, I went down to Florida with a bunch of buddies. As is often the case in such situations, we found ourselves at a strip club. And I, young Mr. Number 8, was well on my way to being good and over served - something that happened not just often, but on the regular to me in those young days.
Anyway, at some point I found a young girl on stage who captured my heart. She was truly something amazing. And she was into me too, I’ll tell you that. I mean into me, bad. She had sexy smokey eyes that said I was her kinda man. Anyway, as we got to know each other I kept feeding her my dollar bills - kind of goofing around but also making sure the manager didn’t get antsy while we got to know each other. We were in our own little world, and it was clear that we had developed something beyond just the obvious physical attraction. I get kind of dizzy just recollecting it now so many, many years ago.
So what happened to us????
Well, unbelievably, I ran out of dollar bills at the EXACT moment she got called away for something by her boss — and after I could not find her. It was like she vanished. To this day I hope that whatever family emergency she must have faced turned out OK.
Meanwhile, my asshole friends to this day say she bolted because I ran out of money. And it still makes me very angry that they disparage my darling Phoenix that way.
Phoenix if you are out there, I’m happily married with two wonderful kids. But I’ll always have a place in my heart for you and our glorious 12 minutes. Be happy, girl.
WHY DO I TELL YOU THIS?
Just to let you know that even I couldn’t convince myself that Captain Jack was the answer to our prayers. I did try, but seriously…… some things are too hard to believe in the end.
