If you are firmly enough rooted in your masculinity, it shouldn't
bother you much to have a woman on top of you. It's a good deal more
relaxing, it's often more satisfying for both parties, and you can see
a lot more of what's going on.
Friedman, Kinky (1993), A case of Lone Star. New York (Wings Books),
389
Daydreaming while smoking cigars can be a fire hazard. It can be as
dangerous as drugs and booze unless you know what you're doing. If you
know what you're doing, it can be as safe as walking down the street.

418

As a general rule of thumb, however, if you thought of New York as a

put in, you wouldn't be too far off the mark.

wonders therein. There are some of us who feel that He might have

But if you're paranoid long enough, sooner or later you're gonna be
right.

Cats are a fairly right-wing group
politically. They are lovers of the status quo. They don't like anything
that might represent change. They hate marriages, divorces, moving days,
graduations, bar mitzvahs, bill collectors, rug shampooners, painters,
plumbers, electricians, television repairmen, out-call masseuses,
Jehovah's Witnesses, and just about everything else, most of which I
agree with them about.
Friedman, Kinky (1993), When the cat's away. New York (Wings Books), 481
"I'm not afraid to die," I said. "I'm not afraid to live. I'm not afraid
to fail. I'm not afraid to succeed. I'm not afraid to fall in love. I'm
not afraid to be alone. I'm just afraid I might have to stop talking
about myself for five minutes."
Friedman, Kinky (1993), When the cat's away. New York (Wings Books), 449
We're all worm bait waiting to happen. It's what you do while you wait
that matters.
Friedman, Kinky (1993), When the cat's away. New York (Wings Books), 434
Now I have a cat. Well, that's not quite accurate. A cat and I have each
other.
Friedman, Kinky (1993), When the cat's away. New York (Wings Books), 421
Most people, of course, spend their lives caring about the wrong things.
The worry about South Africa or Nicaragua. They spend so much time
finding themselves that they lose their taxicabs. They don't see that
what kind of napkin you get at a delicatessen is a matter of much
significance in the world today.
That's why they don't get linen.
Friedman, Kinky (1993), When the cat's away. New York (Wings Books),
446-447
They say that death is just nature's way of telling you to slow down a
little bit.

True New Yorkers would stand in line only at the Carnegie Delicatessen.

spiritual sense, may transcend those of a marital or a business
relationship.

Cats, as a rule, don't like lawyers. They have great insight into human
character.
Friedman, Kinky (1993), Greenwich Killing Time. New York (Wings Books),

I rarely meddled in the cat's personal affairs and she rarely meddled in
mine. Neither of us was foolish enough to attribute human emotions to
our pets.
Friedman, Kinky (1993), Greenwich Killing Time. New York (Wings Books),

There are no good lawyers. There may be lady wrestlers and Catholic
universities. There may be military intelligence. But a good lawyer is a
contradiction in terms.

pain.

Friedman, Kinky (1993), Greenwich Killing Time. New York (Wings Books),

with all the nonsmoking world constantly harassing you.
Friedman, Kinky (1993), A case of Lone Star. New York (Wings Books), 245
Friday night was the night most people thought they were supposed to
have fun. Trouble was most people didn't know what fun was or how to
have it, so things usually ended up pretty ugly.
Friedman, Kinky (1993), A case of Lone Star. New York (Wings Books), 238
I knew I wasn't as stupid as I looked. No one was.
Friedman, Kinky (1993), Greenwich Killing Time. New York (Wings Books),

the word "relationship".

She was the kind of girl that older dentists find attractive. She had a
nice set of teeth, a fair set of knockers, and a lousy set of values.
She was a chemical puppet.
