Sirens blare in the background! Fireworks explode! Confetti and brightly
colored balloons waft gently to the ground. No; this is NOT again the 1000th
story I have reviewed; this time the pyrotechnics, etc., are part of the
story. Deidre Ng has become an American citizen! To celebrate, she and her
sister and their boyfriends do something uniquely American - they go to
Chinatown.

This is a hilariously sexy story. It's possible, of course, that the author is
not trying to be funny or sexy - that she may merely be relating the events
that filled an important evening in the life of a Chinese-Canadian woman
celebrating her enfranchisement and standing topless in the ladies' restroom
yelling sexual innuendoes at her equally untopped but more outspoken sister.
Serves ‘em right - those sweaters were like fashion foreplay anyway.

Or, as David put it

"I mean you look really sexy in that outfit."
"So sexy you have to fuck me even before I can take it off?"
"Overpoweringly sexy."
"Now that I'm a citizen, don't I get a vote on the subject?"
"You'll have to hold an erection to vote on that."
"Planning on stuffing the ballot box, are you?"

I constantly tell my students to find a main idea and to stick to it. This
delightful story proves that I don't know what I am talking about.
