Be Ready For Betty
Betty White can fix a Spin the Bottle game like no other. Two weeks ago, she showed up at our door with Pierce Brosnan and a bedraggled Cher, her signature empty bottle at the ready. "Sit down, boys," she shouted, "And get ready to plant some big ones."
George managed to beg off with a simple "Oh myyy." That never seems to work when I do it.
And so we played. I'm unsure how Betty pulled it off, but no matter how I spun, it never pointed to Pierce. Nope. It always went to Betty, like some possessed green arrow. "Come here ya big teddy bear!" she'd say. "Who's ready for seven minutes in heaven?"
Now, don't get me wrong. Betty's not a bad kisser, but come on. She knows my bread is buttered on the other side.
Taking pity on me, George got me the "Electronic Spin The Bottle" game--something "to keep at the ready, in case of Betty" he said with a laugh. The next time she popped by for cocktails, this time with Liza Minnelli and Daniel Craig in tow, I brought out my new toy.
"But I already brought a bottle," Betty complained, waving that green fiend of hers.
"Don't get your Depends in a bunch," George chirped. "It's time to upgrade. What's the matter?" he asked, with a wink at Liza. "Afraid of a little girl-on-girl action?"
"I have an idea," Betty deflected, clapping happily on her jumpsuit. "Who's up for charades?"
