Guy 2: "No man, I told her she looked sexy in her dress, and she wrote me up for sexual harassment too."
Guy 1: "Wow man, you really like shooting the sheriff, huh?"

Rather than spend a fourth night in Alex's San Francisco apartment, Bob took a train to San Jose and slept in a ditch. This way, he observed the three night rule and preserved his sacred honor.
