q2l

One night I was sitting with friends at a table in a crowded Key West bar .   At a nearby table, there was a mildly drunk woman with a very drunk husband .   Presently, they woman approached me and asked me to sign a paper napkin .   All this seemed to anger her husband ;  he staggered over to the table, and after unzipping his trousers and hauling out his equipment, said :   “ Since you’re autographing things, why don’t you autograph this ? ”   The tables surrounding us had grown silent, so a great many people heard my reply, which was :   “ I don’t know if I can autograph it, but perhaps I can initial it . ”
