Separate Tables

At a legal banquet back in the seventies attended by my brother, then a deputy D.A. in California's Solano County, Kathy G., one of the few females in the room, gets into a heated discussion with an inebriated male defense attorney at the next table. After the squabble goes on for a few minutes, the guy slams down his fist, stands up, and drops trou smack in front of Kathy.

"Looks like a penis," she says after a moment.

"Only smaller."
