"Ha! She has my gamelan. I had this Indonesian boyfriend, so I
had lots. He went back when the new economy crashed, good riddance.
A Moslem, you know, huge ego, minuscule manhood. She took his
kung fu flicks, my Ravi Shankar, Aborigine songs and the didgeridoo!
All gone!"
She came back with two cups and saucers with Lipton bags in
