Most of what follows is true...

Freeport, Bahamas.

1971.

Ron finished his evening meal and enjoyed the sunset from his window. He lived on the sixth floor of a beach front apartment building. It was time to get ready for work. His routine never varied; First came a shower, followed by a close shave, and then he slowly blow-dried his hair. It had to be perfect. He teased every strand until it was in place, but after thirty minutes he was still not satisfied with his appearance; even though to everyone else he always looked immaculate. Ron was tall, very handsome and spoke with a rich English accent. He carefully hand pressed his tuxedo shirt, because neither the dry cleaners, nor his domestic did an acceptable job. Next came a tedious task; the bow tie. However, that night went well and he was almost content with the results after re-tying it twenty times. It was now seven thirty on the mark as he brushed down his midnight blue tuxedo. He was about ready to leave for work; All that remained was to slip on gold cuff-links, signet ring and a Piaget wrist watch.
