Mister Sophisticated

Let's see. It's our first date So let's talk about, uh, well How about abortion? That'd be fun -- You know, maybe debate it or something No, huh? O.K. Well, Trump! That's it! Donald J. Trump. Do you like his sense of humor?! How about his taste in women, like, you know, 'Horseface?!' Not your cup of tea, I see. Well, then Could we maybe discuss critical race theory? After all, I'm white, and you're a half-breed, aren't you? -- What?!... Gee. Whatever did I say wrong to get so resoundingly gonged?

Lol! Gershon, Your title grabbed my attention. Mr. Sophisticated is a piece of work. He didn't read the “first date” 101 handbook! When I read the last two lines, I laughed out loud. I enjoyed the read. Have a great evening;-) Alexis

LOL. Very interesting write, Gershon. So amusing, but so adept at raising pertinent issues. Hey, you just can't chat with those gals these days! So opinionated!
