"A Warren Beatty Drive-By"


Patrick Goldstein's "Big Picture" column asks "How many women did Warren Beatty sleep with?"

Goldstein ventures the following:

Biskind estimates the bedded-by-Beatty women figure at '12,775, give or take, a figure that does not include daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on.' (If anyone can offer a good definition of what might constitute a Warren Beatty "drive-by," we'd love to hear it.)

A "Warren Beatty drive-by"? That's easy. 

A "Warren Beatty Drive-by" is akin to what was known in the early 1990s as a "Little Rock Jog-by," following the practice of a certain one-time Arkansas governor who would push off for an early morning run, cruise by the ranch home of his "Floral" mistress for a quickie, continue some thirty minutes later to the local McDonalds franchise, then return home for shower. Time spent: 50 minutes, distance covered .60 miles.

It is the distant cousin of the "Third Avenue Crafty," wherein an Upper East Side, NY, husband and father, surrounded by his family, slips away from a restaurant table, on the pre-text of an important work call to grab a quick cigarette on the sidewalk, two doorways down.
