You're not fooling
anyone

The lady turtle on her annual visit to Dana's to

He hopped out of bed and he was
already dressed. He had told me once
that he never took off his clothes when he went to bed.

anyone by taking your clothes off
when you go to bed."

from a short story titled "THE KOOL-AID WINO" from his book of short
stories titled "Trout Fishing in America."
