”I don’t know about HIV, but at least his Wikipedia biography stated that he was married to a woman.”

A male “woman” or a female ”woman?” You have to ask in these insane times.

He looked terrible. Google his name then click on Images.
He was unhealthy for a long time.

She might have been his “beard”, like Mooochelle is Barry Osambo’s “beard”. Hope I’m wrong, and that he was happily married. Only they really know.

Anything that brings down your immunity can get you killed when the infection hits. Not just HIV.

He did that really well.

I liked when Mick knocked him out.

I remember him from BLIND DATE discussing with Bruce Willis a woman he met in a parking lot:

- In the parking lot of the club...

...I see this woman,

maybe 35, kind of classy.

I figure she’s waiting for her car.

So, what the hell, I talk to her.

Turns out, she came in a limo. I say,

“I’ve never been in a limo before.”

She stares at me for 30 seconds,

then says, “Let’s take a ride.”

In the limo, she pushes a button and

a wall’s up between us and the driver.

She hits another button,

a sunroof opens.

Bar slides open.

She pours us vodka,

plays Sly and the Family Stone.

Next thing I know, we slide onto PCH.

Full moon, 2:
00 a. M,

vodka, limo, music.

And I’m thinking...

- I don’t believe you.

- We start to kiss.

I slide my hand up her dress.

What do I find? Garter belt!

- All your women wear garter belts!

- So I tell her I want her...

...from behind, standing up,

with my head sticking out the sunroof.

So we start doing it.

We’re going 60, my head’s out

the roof, my hair’s flying...

This didn’t happen. There was

no limo, no woman, no sunroof...

That’s disgusting.

I’m ashamed to know you. How do you

get women to do these things?
