James friend called him an  Uber , he was a consultant so that kind of thing didn't matter to him. It was just what people did. In the car the driver asked "Had a good night?" James replied slurred "Once I get home I will." It sounded like a euphemism...

Man as reply to but septupled

Jared didn’t know if it could continue like this. Every date they went on every dinner they ate together ended with one of them saying “their” joke. Quadruple, triple, quintuple, or any derivative. It was driving him crazy.

sextupled as reply to but quintuple

"Yeah.." He adverted...
