"I was 17 when I met my first girlfriend. On our second date, we rented a movie. I really thought it would be a home run if I rented The Jerk. All my friends loved The Jerk. Of course, all my friends were guys who had no girlfriends either.I was laughing hysterically at Steve Martin (HE HATES THESE CANS!), but she wasn't laughing. I gave her a Geez-I-Blew-It kind of shrug. She just looked at me. Then she leaned over to say something, and—WHAM—we kissed right there.
