The Cheever Letters

Jerry and George are discussing the dirty talk his latest date was using. As Jerry whispers what she was saying, George squirts the ketchup across the diner! (leading into...)

Jerry: So, she's talking about her panties, so, uh...so, I said, "You mean the panties your mother laid out for you?"

George: "The panties your mother laid out for you?" What does that mean?

Jerry: I don't know! It just popped out.

George: Well, how did she react?

Jerry: She flipped out! Just left.

George: Well, that's not offensive. It's abnormal, but it's not offensive.

Elaine: "Maybe I'll go visit my mother. She just bought me some new panties and they're - all laid out for me."
