[stuff deleted] Geez. Some credit please. Besides, "chick" is a term of endearment, [other stuff deleted] 'Term of endearment' ??? Chick? (gails of laughter) You call 'chick' a term of enderarment? I feel sorry for your girlfriend (there, I gave you some credit). (more laughter) Sorry, but I picture someone in jeans, with short greased-back hair, a leather jacket, a cigarette, and cowboy boots, leaning up against an old model-T roadster (red of course) in the parking-lot of the local hamberger joint trying to 'pick up chicks'. "Hey babe..."
