tlow It's
My Turn
BY EDDIE McCULLOUGH
Yea, verily, kiddies, my Evil
Little Mind is at it again! I'm
plotting up in my garret. (Starv
ing poet, you know.) Got a black
hat and coat on, with the collar
turned up, and I'm wearing false
whiskers and dark glasses. One
dim candle lights my bare table.
All. revenge!
I've stood it for years, but at
last I can say, "Now it's MY turn!"
The great day of Revolution ap
proachoth! I chuckle softly in a
weird falsetto smirk. (Peter Loire
does this act too, but not with as
murh feeling.)
THE MORTARBOARD BALL
(the girls give me a new bow tie
every time I plug it) is the event
I've sweated out these many years.
You may ask, are my plans com
plete? I reply: '"My plans arc
complete, even to the last minute
detail!" Nothing must go wrong
this night!
Ready? Then dry-run No. 606
(or has that number been used
before?) I'm upstairs reading the
January issue of Lurid Love
Stories. The doorbell clunks dis
cordantly (I hate music) and
mother answers the door.
"Come in dear! You must be the
ynuiiR lady that my son has told
nie so very murh about! You're
Sharon, aren't you?"
"Uli no. Ma'am. I'm Susie
Aurumnier. He sot me en a blind
date."
'Y?s, 1 11 bet he did. Well. I see
you drive a Chevrolet. The young
lady that was here last night had
a Pa kard. Came from a very nice
family, too. She was a lovely girl.
I think he should see her more
often."
"Yes, 111 bet you do." ' -"What
does your father, do,
dear? Stockman, oilman, banker,
or ?an of Distinction?"
This is the question that kills
'em. If she's anything like me, her
reply to this one is.
"Oh, he's dead. So's my mother.
They committed suicide on my
twelfth birthday."
At this point I come tripping
lightly down the stairs, supposed
ly sorry I kept her waiting. Moth
er reminds me to be in early, and
do 1 have enough kleenex. We
get into the car, I lean shyly on
my door, and ask her to turn on
tho radio. This prevents conver
sation. Later, when she returns from
checking my coat, I apologize and
ask her to put my comb, doorkcy,
kk-enex, hip-flask and cigarets in
her pockets . . all but my mad
money, of course. Then the mon
ster asks me to dance. With a look
like Ronald Colman climbing to
the guillotine, I give my sweet
consent, then comment dryly:
"Well, I knew Arthur Murray
does things in a hurry, but I
didn't think it possible to Rive
novices such confidence. What
makes you say you like to dance?"
"Oh, I've tried it before, Jo
Zilch has been teaching me up in
the house."
"Well, that's jst fine. But how
about letting me lead for awhile?
You can have the next dance."
As the evening wears on, I grow
more responsive. I dance much
closer, eyes closed, and breathe

heavily into my corsage. I give
her hand quick little squeezes,
giggle merrily at everything she
says, and throw coy little glances
when we're near friends.
With cool, calculated, practiced
assurance I reach for her hand
when we're not dancing, and
never take my eyes off her ex
cept when that big, buxom blonde
table-hopper visits us. Then I
bask in my share of her radiat
ing glamour, and drop a little
sigh, wishfully thinking. Later I
suggest that we leave early, in or
der to hit Spencer's before all
those big steaks are gone.
Finally, we start for home. I sit
in the middle of the seat this time,
and punch the radio's push-buttons
until I find some soft music.
Then I loan back and lay my head
on her oh, so feminine shoulder.
With each soft remark I turn my
face towards hers, in blissful, ex
pectation. We pull up in front of my house,
and she kills the lights and en
gine. A few minutes of silly con
versation follow, then she leans
over, lips approaching mine. Eyes
wide in innocent "horror, I draw

follows:
"Why Susan Aram miner! (Au
rum you idiot, is Latin for GOLD) ,
What do yon take me to be? Have
I done anything tonight that might
make you think. ..."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I guess you Just
well, you just DO things to
me!"
"Well! Aral what would you say
if some girl took your little broth
er out and tried that cheap rou
tine on him? Please give me my
doorkey, at once!"
Yes, revenge is sweet. Well, my
number's in the directory. Start
phoning, girls. I'm ready!
