…you show me a man with a ashtray on his navel and I’ll show you a man with a warm belly button…

Monroe D. Underwood

The room was dark and our cigarettes glowed ruby-red and our ashtray was on my navel.

I said Brandy don’t you ever get tired of dark rooms with our cigarettes glowing ruby-red and our ashtray on my navel?

Brandy said never.

I said well I do.

Brandy said Purdue do you want to do it another way?

I said don’t be silly.

I said there ain’t no other ways left.

Brandy said sex isn’t the subject of discussion.

She said what would you change about this situation?

I shrugged.

I said I’d put the ashtray on your navel.
