Reid Fleming, World's Toughest Milkman
From the Reid Fleming website: "What kind of a man fools around with the wife of the World's Toughest Milkman? Laszlo, Great "Slavic" Lover, that's who! Risking grave danger at the hands of Reid Fleming, Laszlo pursues the affair ardently - until the day he meets Constance - The Woman of His Dreams! An Epic Tale of Perfidy, Lust, Woe, and Chickens Coming Home to Roost." [http://www.reidfleming.com/heartbreak.html, accessed 12/10/07]
