Tales from the Edge of the Earth: Was She Wearing Any Underwear?

               
By Grant McGee

                Among the many celebrity stories of the day:  Chris Pratt, he of “Guardians of the Galaxy” fame, and Anna Faris, she of the TV show “Mom” fame, announced in that 21st century way…via The Facebook…that they are getting a “dee-vorce.”
                Oh, and Taylor Swift is off to court in Denver, legally facing off against a disc jockey.  The DJ is the dude who wanted his day in court.  He says ol’ Taylor cost him his career.
                It seems back in 2013 Taylor was in Denver and was doing a meet-and-greet backstage at a one of her concerts and Mr. DJ was in attendance.  She says he grabbed her butt.  He says he never did any such thing.  She says he did and told the DJ’s bosses and he got canned.
                Mr. DJ is suing Taylor and Taylor is counter-suing.  He wants $3-million dollars, she wants a dollar and responsibility for the incident placed squarely on Mr. DJ.
                This is the stuff that came out as The Lady of The House and I watched the evening news.
                “I wouldn’t do that,” I said while watching the newscast.
                “What,” asked The Lady of the House, “Grope Taylor Swift on her bare butt or not wear any underwear.”
                “Not wear any underwear?” I asked.
                “Didn’t you hear that?  She says he groped her on the bare butt.  Where was her underwear?”
                Then as part of the report they played an interview Mr. DJ did on another radio show, him emphatically denying he touched the music superstar.
                “Besides,” I said, “If someone grabs someone on the butt what the hell do they hope to accomplish?”
                “If someone’s not wearing any underwear what do THEY hope to accomplish?”
                We watched the rest of the news then got up to go do a few chores around the house.
                We were putting fresh sheets on the bed.
                We were putting the fitted sheet on the mattress.
                “Well, he says he didn’t grab her butt,” I said.  “If he didn’t I wonder who did?”
                “I just want to know what was she doing not wearing any underwear,” said The Lady of the House as she straightened out the sheet.
