Treasure, you are _definitely_ my Special Friend, and this Kiwi won’t forget your kind words.

I’ve got my pink shirt on right now. A very secure guy, that’s me. And **Jes’** , just a tip… those ain’t pants. They’re just chaps. Your ass shouldn’t hang out that way. Unless that’s the look you were going for. Just stay behind me. Especially after big meals. OK? > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ice Wolf \* > \*\*Treasure, you are _definitely_ my Special Friend, and this Kiwi won’t forget your kind words. > > Even if they are lies, all charming lies.\*\* I thought it was elephants that didn’t forget, not little flightless birds. Or was it the little furry fruit? Something like that. Anyway, I would never lie _to_ you. I might lie _on_ you. But that’s only if the Little Woman doesn’t catch me. And if you’re into that sort of thing. -Rue. ---

I’ll take care of the booze for ya. It’s in good stomachs, uh, I mean hands. . .That Scotch and the brandy look a little bit watery. Are you sure the cleaning lady hasn’t been nipping again? Better taste it to make sure. 😃 And I’ll tip the carpet guys well, don’t you fret. I’ve been handing out glossy autographed 8x10s of you all over town as tips. Folks seem to appreciate them more than mere filthy lucre. I promised the carpet cleaners that if they did a good job they might get to become Official **Rue DeDay** Pals as well. Your trustworthy lawyer pal, Zappo ---

Thanks **Zap**! If you can’t trust your lawyer… well then, just _who_ can you trust? (And I couldn’t find my checkbook, I think I left it in the car… I mean RueMobile. You’ll have to dip into my Barrel-O-Cash for expenses. No need for receipts, of course.) And if anyone calls you a filthy, blood sucking leech, I’ll give them a hearty “Nuh-uh!”. I know you bathe regularly. -Rue. ---

Hey **Jester** , in German a **Hort** is a bunch of gold or a refuge/sanctuary. So this kind of fits in with being a personal security manager, if you look at it sideways and squint. ---

Nice offer, **ShibbOleth** but, be careful, teasure. I might just take you up on that some day, and then you’ll have to be the one to explain the consequences to the world! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/be-my-pal/83472.md?page=5)
