Here is a story that is intended to explain things to the BURN THE BITCH crowd without placating them but not being gratuitously offensive to their morality. *** Tom was out of breath from carrying the beach chairs and the cooler when they reached the sign that marked their destination.

Sammie and I walked aroun...
It was Friday evening. As usual, a group of us were hanging out at Jimmy's. Jimmy's was a bar a block from work. A changing cast of characters would meet up there after work to eat, drink and generally let off steam on Fridays. The place was small and the only music came from a juke box but it was fun. Most of the week it was a neighborhood bar full of local...
