A one-day fling?

There's been testimony in the Melanie McGuire trial that her murdered husband had what has been called "a one-day fling with a co-worker.''
And my question is, "Is such a thing possible?''
I would tend to think not. A "consummation devoutly to be wished'' takes some groundwork, some flirting and some innuendo, not to mention logistics. And once the deed is done, do the parties just stop?
The only "one day'' affair I can think of involves hiring a prostitute and that's not a fling -- that's commerce. Or am I wrong?

Psst! I hate to break the news to you, Riley, but you aren't exactly Brad Pitt. As such, it comes as no surprise that you would have little or no experience with women who, against their better judgment, nonetheless yield, albeit momentarily, to their base feelings of lust and who, as a result, have a one-day (or one hour) fling with a man in whom they are irresistibly attracted.

That said, cheer up! As a former Baptist preacher and now an Asbury Park Press columnist/blogger, surely you've made some serious coin in your day. Oh wait, scratch that.

Hey, at least the dog likes you.

I agree with you, Mr. Riley. It takes a lot mutual flirting and arrangements to be made to have a one night or one day fling. this wasn't just a "hi, how are you, you're cute, let's go" sort of thing. Only in the movies does that happen.

Sure!

Women never hook-up with someone they just met. Girls never "go wild" and flash strangers on the street. No married woman in America has ever cheated on her husband with a man she just met. All those people checking into no-tell motels (e.g., The Loop In) for "short-time" stays (4 hours) are just families eager to get back on the road quickly after a short cat nap. God knows we have never seen a daytime talk show where a DNA test was necessary in order to determine who a child's father was. All women are virtuous all the time.

By the way, Margaret, what time does the tooth fairy come to your house?

Anonymous, I can't put my finger on it, but you seem...soooo familiar. Have we met on this blog?


Anyway, I had thought that this one night thing occurred at work, hence the agreement with Mr. Riley.

And above all else, and as God in his Heaven surely knows, women NEVER lie when it comes to sex. Just ask the Duke Lacrosse team:

I won't tell if you won't. And please don't remind me of that finger of yours. ;-)

I never said all women are virtuous all the time. I said that one night or one day flings in an office environment seem to take more time in establishing.

Well, I, for one, never doubted for a moment that you, Margaret, have been virtuous all the time. For what it's worth, I doubt that even Crazy Ray, Delusional DG and even No-Lay Riley would dare to dream otherwise.

Incidentally, thanks for being such a good sport. :-)

it's the ones always purporting to be so virtuous who usually are not..must be the delusional, cynic in me...gee, anonymous for a supposedly Christian,"Catholic" you certainly enjoy calling other names (Crazy ray, No-Lay Riley, Delusional DG) just because we disagree with you..who wouldn't? For the record..I think you've had many one night stands..with your right hand (or are you a southpaw?...did Jesus masturbate? is that in your Bible and is it a sin? "do unto others as you'd do unto yourself"..is that it?
