I had the day off work and I sat and watched the television coverage from the moment the second plane hit till the next morning. Those scenes were and still are the most evocative I've ever witnessed. The force of the explosion; people hurling themselves downward a thousand feet to avoid incineration; everyone crying; the president before of a class full of children, just a baffled, hollow-eyed panic-ghoul; those towers collapsing with what We feared might be tens of thousands of people still inside.

By the next morning, my penis was just a meaty nub in a field of matted, bloody pubes. On account of all the masturbating.
