KENNY Which reminds me of a little side rule. There's a chance, upon meeting this gentleman suitor, you'll discover something that immediately disqualifies him from the running. AJ Nice crib, playa. Sometimes I dream I have claws. I sure do like apple pie. And abstinence, too! KENNY If your gut cries foul, don't be afraid to suspend the date.
