Last night I stood at the mic and the hostess said to me, "Whenever you're ready." I replied, "Hold on one sec." It was a night of karaoke with the ladies and I had stepped up to the stage to sing "I Honestly Love You" by songbird Olivia Newton-John, which I dedicated to Jim Halpert of Dunder-Mifflin. I took some super glossy lip gloss out of my pocket and prepped my lips, mocking seduction. A stranger in the back of the room called out, "PUT IT ON YOUR OTHER LIPS!"

I regret that I did not see this stranger, nor, to be honest, did I hear him; m'lady, Sarah Cera, told me about the stranger's request after the fact. Alas, Sarah Cera knew not from whose male lips these words of love passed.

Perchance the mysterious gentleman with the request doth read this missive. Show yourself! Then, you may have my hand in marriage, fair sir. And you may have my lips as well. Both sets.
