Holiday: Singles Day


In my madness I was actually in love with her for the few hours it all lasted... - Jack Kerouac



Murdock glanced in the bedroom, seeing the Really Nice Suit and shirt hanging on the door. Must be Face had a date. He only wore his Really Nice Suit for dates. Otherwise he stuck with his Nice Suits. Stepping further into the room, he saw Face standing at the bathroom sink, carefully shaving.

"So who is it tonight? Lisa?"

"No, Lisa was last week. I'm seeing Cynthia tonight."

"I thought Cynthia was before Lisa."

"No, that was Sandra."

"Wait, what about Tammy? You saw her - "

"She was before Laura."

"And Laura was before -"

"Brenda."

"No, Face. Brenda came after Julie, and Julie was a couple before Nancy."

Face stopped shaving, looked skeptically at Murdock.

"I was sure Julie came between Robin and Dawn. And they were both after Nancy."

"That was the other Nancy. The brunette. Julie was before blonde Nancy."

Face thought for a moment. "Oh, yeah, right."

"So when did you meet Cynthia?"

"This morning when I left Paula's."

"Paula? But you said 'Lisa'!"

"No, Murdock. I said Lisa was last week. Paula was last night."

"How do you even choose who's next?"

"I don't. I offer, they decide." Face grinned, turning back to his shaving. "It's worked out great so far."
