You also have to remember whom Zeke is asking.

He stole my line

I almost feel sorry for JJ—she has a horrible lack of self-esteem. BTW, please note that I said “almost”.

How do these two even pay the rent?

I certainly hope she wasn’t expecting some grand, romantic gesture from this guy.

What? Not even a posy of dandelions?

Now, there’s an ambiguous cliff-hanger. Does she mean it or is she being sarcastic?

Still funny after all these years. That might make a good lyric . . .

Hey,he asked. She wasn’t even expecting THAT….she may call his bluff

And gay guys. I’m just saying.

There are those who would take anyone up on it.

(Sanity is not as common as you might think.)

Them from JAWS plays in the background.

Match made in hell. This so reminds me of my MIL and the pos she married. No one would kill him because it would have been a waste of ammo. He did the honors himself. He had a drug problem. He was in denial. He was found dead in a car in Knoxville TN. My SIL told me. My only comment was, it’s a shame it didn’t happen ten years ago. Would have saved a lot of suffering.

Oh, Mike… So determined to appease his little girl in this terrible situation, he’ll search high and low for a bright side in a black hole.

Be worried. Be very worried.

That was short and sour.
