Here's a sample from the book. Patella is considering her new young dentist as a possible romantic target:

      During my first appointment, Doctor Sammy Bud was not boring and he wasn’t yet into sports talk, but I did want to get in my own licks, if only as part of my need for a feminine advantage. Actually, I wasn’t as interested in talking about myself as I was in asking him some specific questions about himself.
      This was in tune with a suggestion from my mother who said, “You might want to find out before you decide to get serious about him if he’s interested in girls.” She said hmmmm to herself and then to me, “No use to waste time. Waste not, want not. Some men nowadays will come right out and tell you that they are not interested in girls. Sam Bud is one who strikes me as being sort of odd.”
      I knew what she was implying, as one day over breakfast a year or so ago my daddy fully informed us about Mr. Stockton Ratched and his boyfriend Mr. Albert Fandango, long-time Balona residents who would not join and not be asked to join the Delta Doodle Dandies. “To each his own,” my daddy said, “but we don’t need to drink beer with those sweethearts.”
      At the time I was a naïve young person and was about to inquire at the breakfast table what the two gay fellows did to quench their desires. I began by saying, “How do…”
      My mother short-circuited my question by chewing at my daddy, as usual.
