The Phil Ruffin of Mayfield High

Even at a young age, Bob Castle could tell that Kenny Riggins was going to be success in life..Riggins had a 'knack' for the dollar bill, and Bob Castle noticed that right away.."Riggins can you loan me some money, I got a date with Lila tonight" Castle was asking Kenny Riggins to extend him a short term loan, Castle had just started seeing his new girlfriend Lila, and was experiencing the effects of a recessionary period..Riggins had been known to 'shark' money out to some of his friends..Kenny Riggins was not an easy man to please, that didn't really matter too Castle, he had promised Lila that he would take her to NYC for the weekend,,One problem stood in the way of that promise..Castle was broke:<

"Why would I loan you money to take your new girlfriend to NYC? You still have not paid me for the trip to Vegas! I want to know how you intend to pay me back..Remember the money I loan you is not free!" Castle still owed Riggins some money, but not that much..Castle had borrowed money from Riggins on a number of occasions and had always paid it back..Riggins was starting to get a little antsy about Castle.."Castle how are you planning on paying me back?" The recessionary climate that Bob Castle lived in had taken it's toll on him, but he was working on a couple of ideas that he deemed profitable in the future. He decided it was time to share one with Mr. Riggins.

"Riggins have you ever heard of a process called Collective Buying Power?" Castle had talked with Riggins about it a few times, but now he wanted to see if he could leverage his idea as collateral.."You have been talking about that for quite some time, I saw your post on Face Book..I am still trying to figure out how you make money..Castle had given his "spill" to a number of people, and decided that he was going to make this one very simple.

"Think about this Riggins? If we can get enough volume to a business, or group of businesses, Maybe? We could turn a tidy profit for ourselves, the trick will be in getting people too a site..I promise! I can get BUSINESSES to participate..The recession has forced a number of businesses to spend their advertising dollars differently, look at what Groupon & other sites are doing..This idea is in the infancy stage, tons of room for it..I just need an investor!" Castle stated firmly but cautiously too Riggins. Castle had given his 'pitch' about CBP to Riggins a few times, and Riggins had never said much..Riggins was scratching his head "I still don't get it, but I believe you have something, I know your broke and you have a new girlfriend that looks like Salma Hayek. Just because of that fact! I am going to loan you the money..If she knew how broke you were..She would be history." Riggins told Castle..Castle agreed wholeheartedly with Riggins..Lila was way out of Castle's league and he did not want to lose her.."When you get back from NYC, let's talk about your idea!' Riggins stated.

Castle was Sooo happy that Riggins loaned him the money and agreed too listen to his idea! He tried to hug him "Whoa..buddy I am not that kind of guy, go hug Lila." Riggins said.."Thanks Riggins I gotta get Lila  and head to the airport..Were going to the San Gennaro festival in Little Italy, she has never been to NYC." Castle stated.."Just remember your going to be having a good time on my money, the money is not free" Riggins than handed Castle a roll of bills.."I understand that, I have never been so confident about something in my entire life..I will talk with you when I get back from NYC," Castle stated..Castle was so relieved that he had the money for his and Lila's trip, he really didn't want to think about anything else..

Bob Castle & the border town beauty..

 "Quiero besar a algunas chicas!"-(I want to kiss some girls)... Bob Castle yelled as he was crossing the U.S/Mexico border. Bob Castle was in McAllen, Texas visiting his friend Jim Buckner. This was the first time Castle had ever been to a border town, and he wanted to make sure he enjoyed it. "Where do all the senorita's hang out at?" Castle asked Buckner.."Don't worry, I know just the place." Buckner replied.

Jim Buckner was a 'Texas boy' who moved to Mayfield when he was in the 6th grade. His family left Houston after the oil market crashed. They had relatives in the Mayfield area, so they decided to call Mayfield home.. Buckner and Castle became inseparable friends during his time in Mayfield. Like all good things, it had to come to an end. Buckner's parents got divorced, his dad found a job back in Texas, and Jimmy was sent to live with him. "I'm gonna miss ya buddy" Castle told Buckner the day before he was getting ready to leave. "Don't worry you can come visit me in Texas, I will be living in a border town, I hear they are lots of fun." Buckner stated with a smile on his face.

"Look at all these chica's" Buckner told Castle. At the time both of them were at a nightclub called the La Rosa Roja..aka..The Rose..The Rose was one of the hottest nightclubs in Reynosa..Reynosa was the Mexican border town adjacent to McAllen. Back in the day, Reynosa was a hot-spot for young party-goers  "Let's ask these girls to dance" Buckner told Castle..The two of them spent the rest of the night dancing and partying with a bevy of nice looking women..

"You want to go back to my place?" Martina asked Bob Castle..She lived across the border in McAllen..Castle had been getting a great vibe from her all night and gladly accepted her offer. The plan was for Castle to ride with Martina and her friends back across the border and Buckner would follow in his car. The problem? Buckner got held-up crossing the border back into McAllen and lost track of  Martina's car. This was before cellphones, so calling was not an option. "Shall we look for your friend" Martina asked Castle.."Naaa..He is a big boy..We can find him later..let's go back to your place." Castle stated. The truth of the matter? Castle didn't like the idea of looking for Buckner all night when he had a beautiful senorita sitting on his lap.. 

"Where you at boy?" Ed Buckner was Jimmy's father. He had been affectionately nicknamed 'Mexico Ed' by Castle ..It was 5 in the morning and Castle was calling Jimmy's house trying to find directions on how to get home. Remember! Castle was in a foreign town for the first time and had no idea where he was or how to get back to Jimmy's..On top of that! Martina's boyfriend had just shown up ..Fortunately, their was a group of girls at Martina's place, Castle pretended he was with one of the single ones.."I have no idea how to get back to your place" Castle told Ed Buckner. Castle than gave the phone to Martina and she got the proper directions on how to find the Buckner homestead. Martina and her boyfriend ended up giving Castle a ride back to Buckner's place.."Bye..it was nice meeting you" Martina told Castle as her boyfriend and her dropped Castle off at Buckner's place. "Uhhh..Thanks for the ride" Castle told Martina and her boyfriend..Castle watched the car drive away and said to himself.."That was really awkward."....

The serial casino robber of Las Vegas..

No Mayfield today..I want to tell everyone a Vegas story instead..Some guy in Vegas has robbed two casino's in the last week..(Sun Coast & Bellagio)..He parks a "crotch rocket" in valet parking, runs into the casino with a mask and gloves on, brandishing a weapon..In the case of the Sun Coast, he got 20k in cash..20k in cash is a pretty good day's pay for two minutes of work..This guy seems to be fearless..Heisting a major casino is not the easiest thing in the world to do..Security is somewhat tight..The casino's are very large complexes..He has to run through them with his disguise on, commit the crime, then get back out to his motorcycle and make his escape..All in a matter of minutes..So far the guy is two for two on his robbery attempts..The thing that strikes me about the whole thing? Robbing a 7-11 is one thing, but going into a large casino and robbing it all by your lonesome seems a very daunting task. This guy has robbed two of the biggest casino's in town with relative ease.

I'm not going to call him the brightest guy in the world. The Bellagio robbery consisted of him stealing a million and a half in gaming chips. He targeted a craps table and took all of the high dollar chips (1000 & up)..The one thing this genius did not take into consideration? In order for any financial gain to come out of his deed, he is going to have to redeem those chips at the Bellagio. If your not familiar with how gaming chips are handled in Nevada casino's? Here is a brief rundown..For the most part the casino does not care about any chip that is $100 face value or less..Any chip with a face value of a $1000 or more is tracked by the casino..Anyone who tries to redeem a chip for that much, had better be able to explain where they got it from..If the casino recognizes you as a player, they won't hassle you..Very few patrons of the casino carry chips much larger than a $100, thus making it much easier for the casino's to keep track of the bigger chips..The robber took a couple racks of 25k chips.

Everyone is talking about the million and a half in chips that he stole. The truth of the matter? My roommate told me that it cost the casino 25 cents to have a chip made, the robber made off with 50 chips, Maybe? 50 x 25 cents= 20 bucks give or take a little..Too me, that seems like a lot of risk for a very paltry sum, OR? The guy is a complete moron..I am going with my second assumption..I will have to give this guy something..He sure has a ton of bravado..My guess? He will strike again..

The James Dean of Mayfield High

Every town has one, that guy with an "edge." The person who is not afraid to do anything, Mayfield was no exception..Grover McGuiness was the "bad boy" of Mayfield High. Grover was not scared of a thing, and eventually that attitude would catch up with him..Bob Castle and Grover McGuiness got to be pretty good friends while they were in school. Castle could not help but notice the effect that Grover "the bad boy" had on girls, one day during Shop class; Castle finally decided to ask Grover what made him so popular with the opposite sex.

"Grover I gotta ask you a question? What is your secret with women? How do you keep so many of them interested in you?" Grover and Castle were standing in the middle of the Shop working on a 57 Chevy engine that Grover had found in a junk-yard. Basically, Grover was working on it. Castle was handing him the tools. "Castle, I am going to give you some advice that I think will help you out tremendously. Women like to see a guy with a little dirt & grease under their fingernails." Grover was a helluva mechanic, whenever Castle was having trouble with his car, he would always take it to Grover and have him fix it. "They also love to see a guy get crazy every once in a while..Most of the girls that I date get bored of there boyfriends." Grover loved to do things that were risky. Grover was legendary for his partying and fighting. He had no FEAR. "Do you ever get worried that some of your escapades might get you in trouble?" Castle asked Grover.."Castle, I don't plan on living past 30 anyways, so I might as well have fun while I am here" Grover replied.

Unfortunately, Grover's prediction about his life span became a reality. Grover was with some of his friends one night, they were partying and having a good time. Grover made the mistake of getting into a car with a drunk driver. He was only 24 when he perished. When I think about Grover it always makes me smile. He was a lot different than me, but in some ways we were a lot alike. Please think twice about drinking and driving. Grover left behind a couple of infant children who grew up without a father..:(...RIP Grover...

The Sandra Bullock of Mayfield High

FBLA stands for Future Business Leaders of America, lots of different schools have or should have a chapter like this. The FBLA was created to ensure that are schools were putting out "quality" youngsters with "quality" ideas. Bob Castle realized fairly quick that if he was going to have a girl like Lila, he was going to have to figure out a way to significantly increase his cash flow, his father Mick Castle told him that he should consider joining the FBLA..The younger Castle always thought that he was "to cool" for the FBLA, one day he finally decided to listen to his "old man" and check it out..The FBLA was a very select group at Mayfield High, they were lead by one of the most charming and pretty girl's in Mayfield, her name was Jill Rogan..

Jill Rogan was the valedictorian of Bob Castle's class..Ms. Rogan was one of the most intelligent girl's that Castle ever met. He was a little bit intimidated by her, but he had to share some of his ideas with her..He thought that someone of her intelligence might "get it." Jill Rogan moved to Mayfield at the start of her high school days. Castle noticed that she was a lot different from the people that he was used to hanging out with. She kept to a circle that Castle wasn't in..Mayfield had a number of different groups, and Bob Castle and Jill Rogan were in two separate ones. But still, Bob Castle had to overcome that stereotype and tell Jill exactly what he was thinking.

"Hi Jill" Castle said as he was entering the room..Castle had just said his first words to Jill.."How are you today?" Jill told Castle..Jill Rogan looked like a young Sandra Bullock..She was a size 4 with dark brown eyes..Castle had often thought about asking Jill out, but she was already taken by a good friend of Castle's. Her beauty was undeniable, but that wasn't what was on Castle's mind, he wanted to pick her mind about an idea he was having.

"Jill, I have to ask you a question? Have you ever heard of a process called Collective Buying Power?" "Yeah, a little, why do you ask?" Gulp..Jill was looking at Castle with those dark brown eyes, Castle was having a little bit of a problem concentrating on his "spill" Jill was wearing a pant-suit that hugged every inch of her frame.."Get it together, Jill might be someone who is interested in your idea." Castle told himself. "Come on lets hear your idea, i'm waiting" Jill told Castle..Jill Rogan was a "no-nonsense" kind of girl. Castle did not want to look like a fool, so he decided to keep his "speel" short.

"Here is how CBP works! A website is created that actively promotes Volume Creation for small businesses, think about this? With the rise of the internet and the oncoming avalanche of Social Network business, maybe doing something collectively could benefit a number of people?" Castle had a 100 pages of ideas that he wanted to share with someone, he was having a hard-time finding people who would listen..He knew that if Jill liked the idea, maybe, someone else would as well? "I have been paying a little attention to the CBP process, some of the numbers that a few of the sites are putting up are IMPRESSIVE!!" Jill replied..Castle and Jill looked and smiled at each other.."Have you drawn-up a business plan for this idea?" Jill stated firmly to Castle.."Yes, but I need someone else's ideas as well!" Castle was looking very curiously at Jill, she had her hand on her chin thinking..Castle was taking that as a good sign, maybe the two of them could become better friends? Break down some barrier? "I tell you what Mr. Castle, let me do a little further research on the CBP process..Figure out if it is something I think might be viable..I have a few of my own ideas that I would like to share with you sometime, right now I have to attend my Advanced Calculus class." Jill stated.

Castle watched Jill and her sleek, petite, body walk out the door. He was beginning to realize that he had just made friends with a very creative person. Castle was stuck on the idea of CBP..If that didn't work out? Maybe Jill could share some of her ideas with him? "Two minds are always better than one" Castle thought to himself.

The Kate Upton of Mayfield High...Part 2

"Where is Lila?" Worthington asked Bob Castle..Bob Castle was starting to sweat things a little. He had already spent the $100 that he had won on his long-shot. Sam Worthington told Castle that "it wasn't official until the rest of the WOM saw her "show-up" at the meet.."That's not fair, the original bet was that I ask her out, she will be at the Quiz Bowl meet, I sent her a text with all the information, besides I already spent your $100 on this new suit I am wearing..I wanted to look good for my date with Lila." "Tough shit Castle! The rest of the WOM decided that victory was declared to soon..We want to see Lila actually show-up..If she doesn't show up by the championship round..You owe me 200 bucks..The hundred I gave you prematurely and the original 100 for losing the bet..Gulp!! Castle thought that he was getting "bent over the barrel." The WOM was a "majority rules" society, and Castle was out-voted 3-1.

"Where you at?" Castle text Lila "the championship match is about to start.".Castle was starting to get really nervous about things!! He had text her a few times to remind her and had not heard anything back. He couldn't tell her that he was going to be out $200 bucks if she didn't show-up..That was something a Salma Hayek look-a-like would probably not like to hear. Castle didn't really care about the 200 he was more interested in seeing if she was going to show..She was in a different league than Castle and he was starting to doubt himself a little.."Maybe the rest of the WOM is right" Castle thought to himself.

"Mr. Castle can you please take your seat?" The narrator for the championship match was starting to get a little agitated..Castle was using every stall tactic he could think of.."Just one more minute, I almost got it. "Castle was on the floor "stretching" he had complained that his quads were hurting. "Your quads will have no part in this match, Now take your seat!." The narrator stated firmly to Castle..The rest of the WOM played along for a little while..They wanted to give Castle every chance he had. Time was officially up and Bob Castle realized that.."Buzz" "Buzz" "Buzz" "Hold On" Castle yelled in desperation. Castle than reached into his suit pocket and pulled out his phone..He had a text message from Lila..When he checked it, all it had was a :)...

"I'm sorry that I am running late..I had to work, and then I had to go buy a new dress." Lila had just entered the auditorium where the Quiz championship was being held and everyone was looking at her..Lila Barlona was a feisty girl, who loved to have a good time "Is this the championship match" Lila yelled as she was trying to find her seat..Everyone was staring at Lila! and rightfully so..She was wearing a designer Jacquard dress. Quiz Bowl meets were not used to such sites, even the narrator was having a hard time with it.."Young lady please take a seat, this is turning into a circus!" the narrator replied.."Sorry" Lila said as he was getting  ready to start the championship match..Castle looked at the narrator and he was blushing..That was the first time he realized that Lila was special..Not only did she look like Salma Hayek! Lila had the charm and charisma to match her beauty. 

The WOM crushed another opponent in the championship match, Bob Castle was having an "off-night" with his Quiz Bowl duties, it didn't matter, the rest of the WOM picked up the slack. Castle was far to busy staring at Lila to concentrate on anything else. "Do you want to get some Italian food?" Castle asked Lila after the meet was over."That sounds cool" Lila replied.. "Thump,Thump,Thump,Thump" For a moment, Castle thought that his heart was going to jump out of his throat "I know this new Italian place that is opening, they make the best chicken marsala in Mayfield.."That sounds like a plan" Lila said..Castle was opening the car door for Lila, all week long he had been practicing his "chivalry" moves, and was going to show them off.."You are so sweet!" Lila than gave Castle a peck on the cheek..Castle's knees almost gave out on him..As Castle was closing the car door he took another look at Lila..It was that very moment, Castle realized that he had met his first "great one."

The Kate Upton of Mayfield High.

After every Quiz Bowl meet, Bob Castle and the rest of the Well Oiled Machine - aka the WOM - would head down to their favorite watering hole. The WOM dominated the area Quiz Bowl scene, and they loved to celebrate that fact! They always went to the same place for their victory libations, 'The Pepper Club." The Pepper, as Castle always referred it, was the WOM's favorite hang-out. The drinks were cold, the food was awesome and the eye-candy was second to none! Now, the thing that Bob Castle liked most about the The Pepper -  Sheila Clandesky - Sheila was the most beautiful girl in Mayfield.

"I think Sheila and I have a connection," Castle stated. At the time, the WOM were bellied up celebrating another Quiz Bowl triumph. "Come on Castle, you have been saying that every time we come in here. Both of us know that Sheila is a mile out of your league!" Sam Worthington replied. Worthington - aka the Worth - was co-captain of the WOM. He was a good, but geeky friend of Bob Castle. The two of them would always talk about how smart and beautiful Sheila was. Neither could work up enough guts to ask her out, until today. "Screw it Worth, I am going to ask Sheila out! What's the worst thing that could happen?" The Worth immediately looked at Castle after his statement and said, "I got a Benjamin that says you don't have a chance." The WOM was an eclectic group that loved to wager on a number of things. Castle and Sheila had been trading looks at each other for some time and no one would believe him. "You're on Worth, I am going to ask her out and she'll say yes, hopefully." Castle made that statement with more than a tinge of nervousness in his voice.

"Hi Sheila, how are you today?" Sheila Clandesky was an absolute ten and Bob Castle was starting to get really nervous about his game plan. "Did you guys win another Quiz Bowl meet?" she asked Castle. Sheila was a cocktail waitress at the Pepper Club and she had just approached the WOM's table. The rest of the WOM was eyeballing Castle intently. If he didn't have some digits by the time she left, he was out a hundred bucks. Castle did not like the sounds of that and decided his charm-o-meter had better be working at full tilt if he was to have any chance.

"We just won our third straight tournament." Castle told Sheila. She had once told him that she found intelligent men attractive. "I find that so sexy that you guys like to celebrate your intelligence," she stated. Castle was starting to feel a big time vibe between the two of them. It was now or never, "Do you want to come to our Quiz Bowl meet next week? We will be defending our league title! Afterwards we can go see a movie." In what seemed like an eternity, Sheila turned to Castle and said, "I would like that! What time should I be ready? I tell you what, here is my number, call me and we can make arrangements. I have to go back to work now." Sheila turned and smiled at Castle as she was leaving. Bob Castle thought he was going to melt.

"Mucho Gracias!" Castle quipped as he snatched the Benjamin from Worth's hand. Worth and the rest of the WOM could not believe what they had just witnessed. Bob Castle had just scored the number of a Kate Upton look-a-like and he was still trying to soak it in when Worth asked, "What is your secret? No one in the world would have thought you had a chance." Castle then looked at all of his comrades and told them this. "I don't how I got Sheila to agree to go out with me. Maybe it's this karma thing that everyone talks about nowadays?"

The Mayfield Mafia

Cristoffo Artinelli..aka..Stoffo had a distinct trait that set him apart from everyone else in Mayfield, Stoffo was the only Italian guy in  town, actually the whole area..Stoffo had been nicknamed the "Italian Flash" for his exploits on the grid iron and a few of his exploits off..:) But the thing that intrigued Bob Castle the most about Stoffo? He was the only Italian guy in town, Castle could not let go of that fact, so one day he decided to ask Stoffo how in the world he ended up in Mayfield?

"Stoffo, don't take this the wrong way, but how did you end up in Mayfield? Your the only Italian in Mayfield, doesn't that seem awkward to you?" Castle had heard all the rumors about Stoffo's connections, after all, Mayfield was a small town and Castle wasn't the only guy who was noticing Stoffo. Stoffo looked at Castle and said "Castle, you think that I am in the Mob? Don't you?" Stoffo seemed a little angered by Castle's question, Stoffo was not a guy to mess with, most of his fights were over pretty quick.."No problem i'm just curious, forget I asked?" Castle was not going to push Stoffo, the two of them were close friends and he did not want to put that friendship in jeopardy. Still, he had to know the truth about Stoffo's past. Why was he the only Italian in Mayfield? It was time for Stoffo to finally come clean.

"Castle this has been weighing on me for a long time, I know I look out of place in Mayfield, but this is where they sent me until the "heat" dies down in NYC," Gulp, Castle was starting to believe his suspicions about Stoffo.."Heat? What do you mean heat?" Castle replied..Stoffo looked at Castle and said "When your from the city like I am..You are bound to run into some "heat".. I got tired of that heat, so I decided to move to the mid west. I was looking for a place to call home and I found Mayfield." Castle had the answer that he was looking for, it didn't matter about Stoffo's past to Castle, Mayfield was his new beginning. "Stoffo your not gonna have me whacked? Are you?" Castle was sensing that things were cool and decided to lighten the mood. "Only if you ask me again about the "old days." Stoffo replied..

It turns out Stoffo and his clan were the first of many Italian families that decided to call Mayfield home. Stoffo had 10 brothers and sisters..All of them were tired of the heat..They decided to move to Mayfield with their families..Some of Stoffo's friends from the "neighborhood" decided to call Mayfield home. The next thing you know, Mayfield has a thriving Italian community. Just to give everyone a better idea of how much Stoffo and his Italian buddies mean to Mayfield, after Stoffo was chosen to play in the Shrine Bowl his Senior year, the town council renamed  a stretch of highway after him..Stoffo Artinelli Parkway is the largest thoroughfare in Mayfield..:)

Shorty Sanders and the "exotic" map..

"Heah Castle, I have a new game that I play down at the Butter Cup" Shorty Sanders stated. The Butter Cup was the best "gentlemen's club" in the area, and Shorty Sanders was about to tell Bob Castle another one of his "stripper stories."  Every time Shorty had a new story to tell, Bob Castle was all ears..Shorty had passed legend territory in "exoticville" a long time ago.

"Shorty, what is this new game that you are talking about?" Castle asked curiously "We are going to have the first ever Shorty Sanders Olympics tomorrow night at the 'Cup" Shorty told Castle. "What in the world are the Shorty Sanders Olympics?" Castle was starting to get very curious.

"The Shorty Sanders Olympics will be very simple" Shorty went on to add "The Cup is a very diverse place when it comes to females, you have Italians, Asians, Brazilians, Europeans..The place is loaded with a smorgasbord of women from around the world. Well the goal of the Shorty Sanders Olympics is to get a lap dance from a different girl each time..I will then be able to check them off my map!" "I lost you Shorty, what map are you talking about?" Castle replied. "The map I keep on my ceiling above my bed..Here's how it works Castle..The Cup has so many different girls, from so many different places! I want to get to know them a little better, so I always ask the girls where they are from originally. Once they give me the answer, I put a peg on my map."

Castle was starting to think about what Shorty was telling him. Shorty had always told Castle that the Butter Cup was the best strip joint in the area because their were so many girls from different places and Castle knew that Shorty had scene them all.."Shorty what happens when the map gets full?" Castle could tell that Shorty was on a mission and would soon have to address that question..Shorty looked at Castle and said "No worries! Once the first map becomes full? I will start a new one."...:)

Shorty Sanders & his prom dates.

"Shorty who are you gonna ask to prom?" Prom was just a few weeks away and Bob Castle had not heard anything from Shorty about who he was planning to take. "I am still deciding between Fantasy & Paradise" Shorty said..Fantasy and Paradise were the stage names for a couple of Shorty's "stripper girlfriends." Shorty Sanders always had a thing for "exotic" dancers and it was obvious that deciding between his two favorites was starting to take its toll on him."I have a suggestion for you Shorty! Why don't you ask both of them." Castle replied.."Hmm, I never really thought of that. That would save me a tremendous headache, both of them are expecting me to ask, so if I took them both? Everyone wins, I am going to ask them both..Thanks for the advice Castle." "Glad to be of help Shorty" Castle stated.

I will never forget the night Shorty showed up at prom with his "two" dates. Paradise was a stunning 6' ft. blonde, she was "stripping" to pay her way through medical school, Fantasy was a petite Asian girl who was "stripping" to pay her way through Vet school. They were two of the hottest chicks that Bob Castle had ever seen, and Shorty had one on each arm. "Damn Shorty, it looks like you got your hands full tonight, do you need any help?" Bob Castle said. Castle had been stood-up by his date and was forced to attend the prom "stag." Shorty looked at Castle and said "No, I got this!" The next week at school I asked Shorty how things turned out for him prom night?

"Castle" Shorty replied, "It turns out the two girls I asked were roommates. They were super cool with the idea of sharing me." "Sharing you, what do you mean?" Castle replied. "After the prom I wasn't sure which one was going to the "after-party" with me, so I decided  I would ask them both." GULP..Castle knew where this story was headed and wanted to know more details. "So what happened Shorty." Castle quipped anxiously. "They both decided that they wanted to be part of the "after-party" and we headed back to their apartment." "What happened when the three of you were alone?" Castle was pressing Shorty for a description of the night's activities..Shorty looked at Castle and said "A Gentlemen never tells!"
