"But it's all we've got And like Aristotle said, "Don't worry, be happy." Three months later, after a rigid selection process, i was named floor manager." "And the cops?" "One day they got tired of asking questions and... vanished." "Like the now legendary Don Antonio." "Ricky from Sportswear visits Cuba twice a year and he said he saw him on the beach surrounded by island girls." "Others say he's in Vegas with Elvis, but that's unlikely." "As long as they left me alone." "Yeah, that was me." "i had finally made it" "My dream had come true." "i was the Chosen one." "I'd returned from Hell to reign over the Earth and everyone loved me." "Sorry, I..." "I didn't see you." "Can I have a word?" "Sure." "Fire her." "Fire her." "Who?" "Her." "Helena?" "What for?" "For doing absolutely nothing." "ALL she does is gossip." "And she smokes."

"Well, that was before you and I met." "Are you over it?" "Of course." "Really?" "I swear." "Then fire her." "Higher species adapt to any situation, no matter how hostile." "Survival makes us stronger, and we end up imposing our will... though on the surface the opposite appears true." "Some may think she was using me like a Kleenex, to relieve her sexual congestion." "That could be the case." "Lourdes extended her empire across the ladies section." "She destroyed Men's Accessories and took over Perfume." "The most amazing thing is, sales increased 20 percent."
