To The Ladies of UCity66 by Steve H. Finklestein I want to thank all the ladies from UCITY '66. It was always a pleasure going to school and seeing your smiling faces, you always looked great, dressed great and you always had on great perfume. The guys on the other hand woke up about 15 minutes before school and thought -well I do not have much time to shower and I can do that in 6th hour gym maybe I can just put on some cologne. Let's see English Leather, Jade East or Canoe. Oh what the hell, I will just mix them and head off to school. I also want to apologize for all the hang ups you must have received. The guys would get ready to call you and ask for a date. OK I have the verbiage down and I will call Sue for a date. It took forever to dial your number and after practicing for about 30 minutes of saying hello the phone rings, you answer we get nervous and hang up. This goes on for about 3- 10 calls. The nervous hang up. It worked great when I had my finger on the button on the phone. Now I am ready to make that call, not hang up and ask Sue out. Sweat is dripping down my forehead, I have hung up enough, I am ready. I keep repeating "hello this is Steve,I was wondering if you would like to go the the Varsity(too forward), Jack n Jill's for some ice cream." I am ready. I dial the number for the 8th time, ready to present my speech ( my Bar Mitzvah speech was easier), no hang up this time. The phone rings the time is now and all I hear is "this is Sue's dad who is this" --dial tone again. Thank goodness there was not caller ID then. It has been 40 years since High School and you ladies look more beautiful than ever. fink Steve H *** to which Barrie Sher adds: Fink, since the High Holy Days are upon us, we need a more thorough |
