She claims her name is Sarah and she asks where I got the scoop tonight on the FOX5 guy arrested in Wyckoff and charged with sexual assault on a minor.<br /><br />"Whoa, hold on....Why do you want to know?"<br /><br />She calls herself "an interested resident" (how many real people use that term?) who's curious about where I got the story from.<br /><br />"I was just wondering: Did the police call you and tell you?"<br /><br />Eventually the shock wore off and I said:<br /><br />"Do you think I was fuckin' born yesterday?" Then I hung up.<br /><br />I will not mention a name, lest it get me in a legal predicament. But I will say there was more than a hint of a familiar ValGirl tone that I once was familiar with.<br /><br />That's right, douchebags. I got the story. Not you, not anyone else. Wanna know how?<br /><br />Sorry. I tried telling people how to do it in a previous life and was ignored. Why should I give it away, gratis, now -- esp. when I'm on the brink of adding new people, at a time when my numbers are skyrocketing, when I've connected with two schools of higher learning and am working on a few others to tap into some rich talent and man/womanpower?<br /><br />I accuse no one. But when you think about it -- the time of night, the circumstances.... <br /><br />Remember the Joe Pesci character in "Raging Bull" (reprised on YouTube as Barney Rubble)? He has that great line: "Where do you get your balls askin' me somethin' like that?"<br /><br />Where, indeed.JerryDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10809633471353316434noreply@blogger.com
