From: poseidon@gwis2.circ.gwu.edu (Somebody else for a while) Newsgroups: talk.bizarre Subject: Why I Am A Geek Date: 3 Apr 1995 01:04:02 -0500 I was hanging out with a couple of friends of mine (they're geeks, so the fact that I have friends doesn't nullify the hypothesis) over hard cider at a bar just off-campus. Anyway, one of them had, as incredible as it sounds, kissed a girl that weekend. And repeatedly, on the lips, not just once. The rest of us were, of course, incredibly envious and curious, and pestered him with the kind of questions that normal people asked their first friend to lose their virginity, at probably little more than half our age. But that's not the point. The point was that one question we asked him was "How long did it last?" He admitted, "I'm not sure. I was kinda in shock. Could have been five minutes, could have been thirty." "Ah," I said. "5d6 minutes?" --- David Vacca, Somebody else for a while.
