Jerry dated Annie for six months, and she finally smartened up and dumped him. He was clueless about women and how they should be treated, especially in a relationship. He needed some beers to wash down the pain. He met his old friend Carl at the bar, a place where the ladies went to show off their tight jeans or short skirts and heels while the men dreamed of impressing them enough to make a score. “Second relat Read More
