-"You look sharp dude. Here, try on this suede jacket too." Jose suggested, as he held the jacket open for Charlie to try it.
-"You think that I look fine? I know I will believe that after I get a hair cut. Thanks for helping me choose the pieces to match Jose.
I think that you really have a future as a fashion consultant." Charlie said with a wink.
-"You got it. I have impeccable taste, as well as an astute business sense. Your whole new wardrobe, including the full-length wool coat and shoes won't amount to more than eighty dollars. The pieces ticketed green, are half priced this week.
Although I think that you should buy the underwear and socks brand new.
Let's finish up here, and then walk to the ninety-nine cent store. Hey! We can even get some cologne there too!"
As they carried their purchases to the nearby store, they walked with a brisk stride, full of energy. The change in their diet and habitat had really made all the difference.
-“It feels so nice to walk into a heated store, in from the glacial cold. Although I think it doesn’t beat the high of having money in my pocket to buy whatever I need.” Charlie said with a little pride.
-“You recall what I said two weeks ago Charlie? It all comes down to money. Now what you need to do after we get you transformed is that you get yourself some pussy.”
-“I don’t know about that Jose. Let’s not push our luck. I am very content with earning enough to pay for our room and for decent food. Besides, I can’t even remember the last time I was with a woman. And now, well, now -- I’m ashamed of my body. Which woman would sleep with me the way my body looks?” Charlie said chagrined.
-“Hey, I sleep with you, and I don’t mind it. Well, I don’t make love to you, but we do share the same room and bathroom. It will be alright buddy -- we'll be all right, you will see.” Jose said as he draped one arm around Charlie’s back in solidarity.
-“Besides my friend, we will sort of stimulate the economy. Did you know that the whore ranches in Nevada are in dire need of new customers?
The situation is so bad now, that even seventy-two year old women are applying for work there. Don’t assume that you will get a Britney Spears look alike either. Get real!
Let’s go get something to eat, and then get the hair cut, and then sleep. We should be ready by 11:00 pm sharp for work duty.
Richard is getting all into the Holiday spirit, and suggested that we also target cars full of packages as an extra curricular activity, dressed as Santa Claus and fill a huge sack.
We will see about that. For now let’s stick to the plan, and tomorrow you are getting laid my friend.
Now that I think about it, I think that I will too. Let’s walk to the personal health aisle and get some condoms too."
