ON WHAT FALLING IN LOVE IS LIKE

"Like an avalanche where you have to run for your life."
(Roger, 9)

"If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I
don't want to do it. It takes too long."  (Leo, 7)

I pulled into a town I couldn't believe still
existed in 1999.

A dusty, dirt road, a little old wooden store that
actually said "General Store", and that was it.

There was a little old man sitting in front of the
store in a rocking chair. I said to him, "What do
you folks do around here?"

He said, "We don't do nothin' but hunt n' fuck."

I said, "What do you hunt?"

He said, "Somethin' to fuck."

Being very patriotic Kelly went with a Judi to register to vote.
We filled out the forms and handed them to the registrar.  He
looked them over and handed Judi's back to her.  "You
answered the question on your 'State Of Birth' wrong."  She'd
written:  "alive".
