Time To Sharpen Those Dance Moves

Back in my day, a dance signaled everything you needed to know about a man. Any self-respecting disco diva could interpret a well-timed hip gyration. The less gifted boogier knew how get in close, and allow you to sense he is a man of consequence.

Seduction was boogie booty art. Now all a guy has to do is mumble something about his second cousin sleeping with the brother of a res agent at ABC Charter Tour Inc. and bingo! Is he getting laid tonight!

Apparently, Pumpkins, “Friends & Family” is very liberally defined along a number of travel corridors. One admirer of mine recently wrote in about a client excitedly calling to thank him for all the great research he did and – as luck would have it! - a friend is dating someone at a tour op who can get the trip for 15% less!

It’s a sad day when booty calls come equipped with a travel discount.

But hold onto your prophylactics if you’re an agent. May as well put a sign on your head, Pumpkins: “No Discount Here - Move Along.” What can I say? I don’t make the rules about who’s whomin’ who on the discount floor.
