The Last Kiss
Back on January 9th, a group of Pekin , Illinois bikers were riding west on
I-74 when they saw a girl about to jump off the Murray Baker Bridge . So they
stopped.
George, their leader, a big burly man of 53, gets off his Harley, walks through
a group of gawkers, past the State Trooper who was trying to talk her down off
the railing, and says,
"Hey Baby.....whatcha doin' up there on that railin'?"
She says tearfully, "I'm going to commit suicide!!"
While he didn't want to appear "sensitive," George also didn't want
to miss this "be-a-legend" opportunity either so he asked
......."Well, before you jump, Honey-Babe..why don't you give ole George
here your best last
?"
So, with no hesitation at all, she leaned back over the railing and did just
that .... and it was a long, deep, lingering
followed immediately by
another even better one.
After they breathlessly finished, George gets a big thumbs-up approval from his
biker-buddies, the onlookers, and even the State Trooper, and then says,
"Wow! That was the best
I have ever had, Honey! That's a real talent
you're wasting, Sugar Shorts. You could be famous if you rode with me. Why the
hell are you committing suicide?"
"My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl."
It's still unclear whether she jumped or was pushed
