“This is Shawn,” said Maria, the manager of The Penthouse Club, by way of introducing me to the infamous porn star, Jesse Jane. “He was the one bragging on Twitter that he would outdrink you tonight.”
This was not true — not entirely. It was true that I wanted to get into a drinking contest with Jane at her launch party for Diosa Tequila. I didn't, however, think I could outdrink her. I just wanted to get her drunk enough to mistake me for someone she wanted to have sex with.
It was a solid plan. My wife even approved of it. She had her reasons: 1.) She assumed I would fail. 2.) She assumed my pathetic stomach would start ejecting tequila before Jane got anywhere near drunk enough to justify having sex with me. 3.) After watching Pirates XXX, my wife considered Jane famous enough to qualify for the "celebrity exception" clause in our marriage vows.
