Which turned out to be far harder than I imagined, since my mouth was still trying to hang the "open for business" sign somewhere it shouldn't have been hung.
My client appeared torn between helping my mouth out or slapping it. |

I sank onto the sofa next to the dame, straightened my tie, cleared my throat, and said "Fancy meeting you here doll face. What's the gig?"

I resisted the impulse to slap some sense into her. Then I tried again, "So, did you slide the note under my door, or is this some sort of cosmic unholy coincidence?"

As her eyes defocused and deconverged, I could sensible the mental griding of gears as she attempted to interpret my question and generate a suitable answer.
"Yes," she said some time later, as smoke started to drift out of her right ear. |

I threw the melted ice cubes from my drink into her face to snap her out of whatever fugue state she was in, and she promptly slapped my face!
"That's better doll face, now you're speaking my language!" |

"Oh great, I thought, this is just what I need. She's obviously been kidnapped by some weird religious cult and is speaking in tongues."

I scratched my head and looked out the window to see if any custard was coming my way. Then I asked her "So, been seeing any otters lately?"

"Well, in that case," she purred, as she curled up, "it's your move now."
I'm sure I was very suave, as I stuttered, "uh, uh?" |
