You disowned me. Why should I even listen to you?One finger up in the air: "Look, son. These are my last words to you."This announcement was the final straw, or so he could guess now. Slowly coming back to his senses, he noticed a sudden urgency in his body.He had to pee, and the public cabins were right on the horizon.Grandpa, go fuck yourself.He had, of course, denounced him with another finger, which now seemed more likely to be the final straw as he thought.But then, what about the first one?

Cheers rose up from the small crowd. All in black t-shirts and jeans, six men were sitting in a café right next to the barbershop. They watched the groom walk. “Ooo, Mr Groom!” “Hey! Handsome guy!” Soon, one of the cheers evolved into a full sentence: “Look how handsome you are!” “Sure I am!” The groom approved. His entire being smelled orange cologne.
