Torture? Who's kidding about torture? Half an hour before the dentist's chair, if the kindly dentist himself came to ask me "what I know" I would gladly give up my grandparents, parents, close friends, best friends, remote friends, and even Ali, who runs the corner store.
"What is the name of Ali's friend, the one we call 'Jumbo'?"
"Oh, Jumbo! Who doesn't know Jumbo! Jumbo lives at 14th and Exeter on the fourth floor, I believe . . . let's see, his phone number is 310-88 . . . oh shit, I forgot his phone number. Do you want his shoe size instead? I think it's a . . ." (blow to the head).
