Confessions of An Addict

(*scuff scuff*) (*scoots back chair*)

Uhm,hello,uhm,... My name is Bruce,and I'm a shrimpaholic. It started out not being such a big deal- you know,like,uhm,a shrimp cocktail for an appetizer once in a while. Then it was fried shrimp,first a half dozen,then a dozen at a time. Pretty soon I was out of control,and I got into the harder stuff. Jumbo shrimp... stuffed with crab. I couldn't help myself.

Then some greasy-haired Italian with a handtowel over his arm offered me an inside line on the good stuff... scampi,and lots of it. I- I... I had to do it. Shrimp is taking over my life... I,uhm,I need help...

(* starts shaking and sobbing *)

My wife and kids left me for a vegetarian,I lost my job in networking and moved into a rundown flat above a seafood warehouse,just to be closer to my supplier. There's nothing left now but a bunch of shrimp tails that were too crunchy to eat. Help,please...

(* breaks down and bawls *)
