21. To Fend Off My Creditors?
If you’re not, you should be. Even with a black superhero president-elect, we’re in the midst of a global economic crisis. But you have to remember that subtle hints about the possibility of hot, hot sex are virtually recession-proof.
So, the next time that girl from the bank calls to ask in a sensuous voice whether you ever plan on paying your credit card ever again, ever, you might want to be extra-nice to her. If you’ve got a good sob story, tell it. Try to skew toward dignified struggle, and away from pathetic, crying mess. She already knows she’d have to pay to for breakfast if she ever hooked up with your insolvent ass, so be reassuring.
Even if your bank representative won’t remember who you are tomorrow, if you can make his or her day a little bit better, your month will suddenly get a little bit better thanks to a friendly extension on a payment. Don’t think of it as using each other, just think of it as cooperation. Sexy cooperation.
