But only on the left side, because that's the Crips side.

I saw my friend this weekend when he regaled me with the end of his most-recent relationship. He had been dating The Cougar for seven months when she dropped the bomb, from the kitchen, while he watched TV. "I love you," she said, in a sing-song voice.

He didn't reply.

"I love you," she sang again.

Panicking, not knowing what to do, he chose "Avoidance".

"I heard you," he replied in the same sing-song voice, then tip-toed out of her house, and out of her life.
