I pull out champagne and make toasts when my father forgets my existence. If I could, I’d make him think I was dead. Which might be possible if he were on his own, but he has a pesky assistant who reminds him of the fact that all seven of his sons are still alive.

But just because something’s made of marble and bronze doesn’t mean it’s art. I could’ve made a dick going into a vagina with bronze-colored clay in one afternoon and sold it to my father for a million bucks.

I always thought romance novels lied about how great the orgasms were in the sex scenes, the idea being to talk up the hero’s virility and prowess in bed. But maybe romance novelists have their own Midnight Gods in their bedrooms, and they’re just writing from life experience.

The reason his name is the same as the company on his mother’s side isn’t because his mom has some weird identity issue. It’s due to the fact that our dad decided remembering seven boys’ names was too much work and named us after our mothers.
