Q 10) How many points should I award you?
A: Sweetheart, women like me are expensive, because we want it all...
Q 11) Can you show me the way to Amarillo?
A: Yes. It's after 'amoral' and before 'armadillo'.
Q 12) Where would you go by the boards?
A: I always go past the boreds and straight to my happy place. My therapist taught me this. Just don't tell her that my happy place happens to be a bar.
Q 13) Why wait?
A: What, at my happy place? Gladly! Feel free to join me, darling, the more the merrier. (And it's my shout if you've come through on Q10.)
