950 words, humor, I would like full critiques (but I'll take other comments too).

-------

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

Oh, I don't have to say that any more? OK. Well, here's what happened. Friday night I met this really hot girl at a party over on Jefferson Street. No, wrong sin. I wish! Just kidding, Father.

Anyway, she was so freaking amazing. I mean, she was so slim, and her body was perfect. I just had to meet her. Do you ever see the kind of girl that just makes you think, this one's it? This is the one I've got to have?

I guess not. She was talking to this really big guy -- looked like a football player on steroids -- and I thought I'd just see when she stepped away from him, and move in. I work better without competition.

Oh, yes, and if anybody has ideas where to publish non-SF humor . . . I never know where to market these.

Look's fun. I'll read it. I may not be able to get back to you for a week or two, though, cause I'm headin' out on vacation. Yah!

I have a few of these off-kilter ones myself, and no clue as to what to do with them.

Sounds good -- I'll look at it if you would like. Any specific turnaround time needed?

-K.

I'd like to take a look at it if you can give me a few days. I'm overloaded right now with critiques, but yours looks fun.
