Her cell was singing out the message that always got her attention, "I'm so excited...". She could not resist and just had to answer. "Yeah, we'll be done in five, Rudy, where's my next trick?" At that point, her bedmate knew that although he ate a dozen oysters, only 6 of them were going to work tonight!
