dgcrimson:It was 1974 and Russ couldn’t believe how much the world had changed. All he was trying to do is eek out a iving to give his family some nice things; the same way his father did. Was he such a bad guy? Now his wife called him a chauvenist pig and wanted to be liberated, his daughter was shacking up with a black man and his son had longer hair than his sister and actually looked more ,like a girl than she did! Well, damn them all! He could still walk the streets proudly smoking his cigar and too bad for the person who was offended! That’s where I came in. He was one of my first and steady customer. He needed to feel like a real man and I was ready to help him. If I saw him approaching the corner sucking an unlit cigar I knew it was time to spring into action. I would go up to him and offer him a light. It was our mutual signal I was open for business. He was steady and consistent but not creative. He was always on top, puffing on his cigar. Or I would suck him off, period, with no reciprocity. Hey, it was steady work and he paid well. And he got to be the man of the hour. -- source link
