It's midnight. Our never-looked-at-a-man title character is in a specialty food store, shopping for sherbet (that he could have bought closer to home) for his pregnant wife. In the produce section, he gives his power shake recipe. Then, "I noticed the same guy was pickin' out cucumbers.... I went to the bananas, grabbed a bunch and looked around to find he was still lookin' at me in 'that way.'"

Ya think?
