I don\u2019t think we need any more beer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Theodore,<\/p>\n<p>I may have pissed in the ficus. I snagged some beer and a bottle of Jack. You\u2019re welcome to a brew, but don\u2019t touch my bourbon.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Don\u2019t go to the Liquor Mart on 3<sup>rd<\/sup>. Ever.

When she blushes it\u2019s like the warmth of the summer sun. If she calls, please tell her I will call her back.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Theodore,<\/p>\n<p>Jenny stopped by. Not very friendly. She said she doesn\u2019t want to see you ever again. Bitch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dear Tag,<\/p>\n<p>What happened? I went to Jenny\u2019s to try to talk to her. She wouldn\u2019t stop crying and threatened to call the police.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Throw away your condoms. Vomit and urine are one thing, THAT is another entirely.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Theodore,<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry about Jenny. I broke it. I\u2019ll fix it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dear Tag,<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t talk to Jenny. I\u2019ll try to call her in a few days.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Theodore,<\/p>\n<p>We both know you are lying.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dear Tag,<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s my problem.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Theodore,<\/p>\n<p>Your problems are my problems.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dear Tag<\/p>\n<p>Please, you\u2019ve done enough.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Theodore,<\/p>\n<p>Bullshit. I haven\u2019t even started.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dear Tag,<\/p>\n<p>My car is missing. Did you get drunk and leave it somewhere again? I cleaned up the blood in the shower. Don\u2019t shave in there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dear Tag,<\/p>\n<p>You didn\u2019t leave me a note last week. The police found my car. Someone burned it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dear Tag,<\/p>\n<p>Still no note. I called Jenny. She didn\u2019t answer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dear Tag,<\/p>\n<p>No note. I thought we had an agreement. A note every Sunday. Still no call from Jenny.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dear Tag,<\/p>\n<p>The police were here.
