True story.
| Background Image: 18th Street at Dolores, San Francisco, (Google Maps street level view). |
Sometime in 1971, I and my pulchritudinous twin sister were crossing 18th Street from Mission High School to Dolores Park on our way home from classes, when a great big Cadillac, turning the corner behind us, stopped.
The driver, sporting a felt fedora, gangsta leaned toward the window to proposition my sister:
"Say babe, would ya rather ride in a car with a man or walk with a fool?"
Whipping around, my twin's spitfire retort was brief, brutal, and blunt.
"I rather walk with a fool than you!"
The driver, letting out a laugh,, continued up the street.
"Thanks for the compliment." I remarked.
It took a second for the realization to penetrate my sister's ire.
