I had dirty going down and he had clean coming up. As he passed, I could smell

his clothes had been in the dryer to long. He pushed past me and ran the rest the

Aretha Franklin CD?" "Yeah, I said surprised..I didn't think I was playing it that loud."

"I live three doors down." He said. "I am having a party tonight. Do you mind if I borrow it?"
