Twice, I've had a conversation with Pat about Marilyn Monroe. The first time was five years ago.
On Marilyn Monroe's marriages...
Pat: How many times was she married?
Sarah: I dunno. A lot?
Pat: Well, she was married to Joe DiMaggio (pause) Arthur Miller (pause) and Einstein.
Sarah: What?!
Pat: What?
Sarah: Marilyn Monroe wasn't married to Einstein.
Pat: Really? (pause) Well, they had sex or something.
Sarah : (laughing) No. They didn't.
The second time, which was just a few months ago, he just accused Einstein of having sex with Marilyn Monroe. I stared at him, thinking he was joking. Surely, he remembered how I tormented him after the first conversation.
Nope.
I explained. Again.
Pat: Who am I thinking of?
Sarah: JFK?
I post this now because we all need a laugh in this tragic, post-David-Letterman-affair world. A man in power, who smokes cigars, having inappropriate relationships with staffers?
Well, I never would have guessed. Sure hope he never said anything bad about President Clinton's affairs.
Oh.
I'd fuck Einstein.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic conversation.
