Sorry - quick aside to **Hamadryad**. This was a **way, way** funny post. Thanks!

And tragic from _my_ POV! Would it change your mind for a little while if I pointed out that my user name implies I’m a forest ranger? Ya know… I take care of trees?

No?

Who said no?

**I** only said I wasn’t flirting any more.

And being an open-minded sort of lass, there’s nothing saying I’m not willing to be convinced.

But this isn’t flirting.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” If it works for a head of state, why can’t it work for me?

I’d duck and run, but that’s undignified.

\<duck & saunter\>

Thank heavens you’re not really flirting. Otherwise I’d be doing something all desperate and undignified trying to get in on the closet action.

Italian is good. You may THINK you don’t know ancient Greek, but wimmins have been known to speak in tongues with me!

You may want to get a hit now, I may not want to stop for a while! I am a Marine, I eat challenges for breakfast.

_walks over to give Tequila a long, deep kiss_

Sorry I’m late, darling. It wasn’t for lack of desire… Because you **certainly** provide the desire.

Now I think I’ll mingle a little and see what fun I can drum up on my own. I see a few people I know, but they look a little busy at the moment… Maybe I’ll wait until they’re free, or see if someone else comes by to tickle my fancy… 😉

What would you like, m’dear? I have vodka, Southern Comfort, rum, or, if you’d rather stay sober for a LITTLE while longer, a whole selection of International Foods Creamers.

And, I brought some sushi, sitting over there. You can bring it back over here… I have the perfect table for you to eat it off of… 😉
