As women do everywhere, three good friends meet to exchange daily news and gossip when they suddenly see a certain female walking down the other side of the street. Thomas Blackshear says, "We can only guess what that Ms.Thang has been up to!" Whatever it is, the girlfriends are scrutinizing her with disbelief and disapproval, and then, after much whispering, someone gasps, "Oh no, she didn't!"
