Riding in Cabs with Boys

Shem and Kyle are discussing Shem's girl issues (it's a long distance relationship; Kyle is enthusiastically outlining just how well he knows this territory). Shem says, "I don't know! I don't know what her deal is."

So far, I'm silent. Mostly this is because I am drunk and concentrating on keeping my dress from hiking up above my waist.

Then Shem turns around in the front seat and addresses me. I'm blinking one eye at a time at this point, and he says, "Women are crazy, Priya."

"Well..." I find myself saying, "I would rather be crazy than stupid."

The guys (including the driver) fall silent, and I take their silence to mean that they agree.
