Date: Sun, 24 Nov 1996 06:56:00 -0500 From: Rqymond McDowell Subject: INT: SPT: Where's EmJay? Wha's Hap'nin'? Xiao Da Shing Shing and Rqy rolled up to the SPT singing. Rqy was singing "My Shanghai Girl" and Xiao was singing "My PuDong Petunia". Both were doing their best Maurice Chevalier imitations. Xiao jammed on the breaks and the jeep jerked to a halt. Rqy was sent flying ass over elbows and landed in the front seat with his head where his butt ought to be. "We're here!" "Great. Now if you'll be so kind as to help me right myself, we could enter the SPT and enquire as to the EmJay results." "I don't know, Dad. You look kinda natural in that position." "Xiao, my dear adopted son. I'm sure you're only joking, but just in case you're not, I'd like to remind you of the kind of hell unfilial Chinese children go to." Xiao growled under his breath, but nontheless reached over across Rqy, wrenched the door handle and pushed the door open. Then he gave Rqy a nudge and the upside down writer tumbled out and landed flat on his back. Rqy looked up at the open sky. "Wah! Xiao. Look. That cloud overhead looks just like the face of a that beautiful big-eyed Shanghai girl I met in the disco." "Looks more like a bannana cream pie with whipped cream on top to me." Rqy cocked his head to the side. "Hmm. You could be right." Then he hopped to his feet and the two travelling companions linked arms and headed to the bar, sining to the tune of "We're Goin' To The Chapel". "We're goin' to the tavern And we're gonna get snockered. Goin' to the tavern for fun. Whoa-Whoa-Whoa-Wo---"
