Woman of Woe

After chatting for a while, Jerry decides Debbie is a woman to take a chance on. She's attractive and in all 4 emails never asked him once what he did for a living. They meet at TGIF's and when they are seated, Jerry asks Debbie how she is doing.

To his surprise she tells him she has been having some problems breathing. She goes into about a 20 minute informative speech on asama. Learning more than he ever wanted to Jerry sums it up by saying, "Well, I'm sorry to hear that. How's the food?"

As it turns out, her breathing isn't as bad as her back. The rest of the meal, Debbie shares every ailment she's ever had since birth. At the end of the long meal, Jerry walks her to her car and says he hopes she feels better...knowing he'll feel better now the date is ending.

"Oh," she says, "I feel fine. I was hoping maybe we could go back to my place."

Jerry declined.
