I was in radio 25 years ago near the edge of the earth. We're in a bar and about 40 people are partaking of the free drinks before dinner.
A woman who was the date of a sales guy was sitting at the same table as myself and, among others, the girlfriend of our sports director. The woman was a teacher at a private school in town. We exchanged the short versions of our life stories, including my recent breakup with my ex-fiancee. She asked me if I'd been dating, and I told her no.
She looked at her drink and said, "I know how you feel. There are only four types of guys in this town." Sensing something fabulous, I asked, "What are they?"
She said, "Divorced, married, separated and jerks," then tossed back her drink as the sports director's girlfriend's eyes grew wide and her jaw dropped in horror.
I laughed uncontrollably for about a minute, and when the first woman turned to talk to someone else, I said to the shocked woman, "Well, I guess I know where I stand."
The rest, I don't remember. As I mentioned, there was lots of free booze.
