  Thanks for taking me back to the sixties, with me and 
  Phyllis drivin the drag in my old 59 ford and me buying her a
  ten cent coke, thirty cent gas, and playin the AM radio. 
  Thanks Phyllis for dumping me for that older guy instead of
  waiting for me to finish college. Wish you could see me now.

  Don't feel bad. After she dumped you, Phyllis dated me for 
  almost 2 years. All she ever talked about was you and
  how you were the lost love of her life, so we broke up. She 
  got hooked sniffing those pine scented Christmas trees 
  we used to hang from our rearview mirrors and spent 6
   months in rehab. Then she left town. For a while she joined a
  cult and changed her name to Ram Dass. The last I heard 
  she makes a living doing laser hair removal for male ballet
  dancers and aromotherapy.
