When you spend an evening bar-hopping with Broadway Joe, you never quite know what you're going to wind up wearing as a hat. Steve, your tale of adventure has strengthened the soul of Airport Guy -- he wants to know if Big Red makes house calls. And Alane wants the phone number of that midget. Uh, little person.

I keep telling Alane that she's headed for prison. In last week's Wall Street Journal there was in article about a financial firm spending a scandalous amount of money on entertaining a potential client. Here's what captivated my attention:

In March 2003, Jefferies and two rivals [snip] helped pay for a weekend-long bachelor party for one of Fidelity's star traders, Thomas Bruderman Jr. Jefferies paid nearly $65,000 for a corporate jet to fly Messrs. DeSano and Bruderman and others from Boston to Miami's South Beach. The amusements included Danny Black, a hired dwarf whom traders and their friends tossed for entertainment. It is this party that federal prosecutors in Boston are investigating. Mr. Black said he planned to travel to Boston next week to meet with authorities and give grand-jury testimony.

You hear that, Alane? You're going down, lady!
