Bored parolee
After a local guy stabbed a fellow parolee five times and got himself arrested for attempted murder, the victim had some spare time while recovering in the hospital.One thing he did was to call a certain reporter and deny a police account saying that both men had been drinking all night until the stabbing. In fact, he said, the two "had a couple of beers, ate a DiGiorno's pizza and went to bed." (I thought the pizza brand was a nice touch.)
At any rate, the guy who had been demanding a retraction was soon put at ease. But then he became so at ease that he offered to give the reporter the "full story" in person, and asked the reporter how to pronounce her name. Then: "That's a pretty name, and it makes me want to meet you more. How old are you? I'm only 37."
Said reporter managed to say, "Um, we don't talk about that," then got herself off the phone.
