While walking the streets of Hollywood, California, he came across a sign, 'Love - if you want it - come in and get it!' That's what he wanted so he went inside. The place was as big as a classroom, full of chairs and people sitting in them. There was one spot empty in the middle so he took it. No sooner did he sit down then someone yelled, "Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! You're all Guilty. Do you know what that means? Do you know what that means?" The person with the voice pointed at him so he felt obliged to answer.

"It means we all have something in common, so now we can all be friends." The person with the voice looked at him stern like and said, "I mean guilty of not having enough love. Are you some kind of a trouble maker or are you here to get love?"

"Why I'm here to get love." he responded.

"Five hundred dollars and love is yours." the voice uttered.

The man started crying. Not only was he going to get all the love but he was also going to get five hundred dollars.

At least he got the price right. The direction of the flow was a bit off. His stomach was doing strange turns as the other people in the room started giving five hundred dollar apiece to the voice. He got up and left. When he was outside the building he felt he needed to take a walk. As his feet moved him forward from one block to another, he was abruptly stopped at a street corner by a California hustler. No use telling you if the hustler was male or female, in California everybody hustles.

This individual flashed a sign at him, 'LOVE, fifty dollars'. He said, "You're in the wrong business. There are people out there giving away hundreds of dollars and they don't even get a handshake."

His wondering led him to conclude, "What right did he have to get himself worked up on how someone throws away their money? If the only way people can feel love in their life is through cash, than maybe more people should give it away."

He didn't remember how he wound up in a park. As he was sitting on a park bench a cat came over and started rubbing its body against his leg, then jumped on his lap and waited to be patted.

After being rubbed, scratched and patted, the cat jumped off and went its way. He realized, "What an amazing way for life to communicate with me. If I want love and affection, why don't I just ask for it."

He rushed to the nearest Hollywood party. As he looked around the room, he saw, the woman of his dreams, sitting on a couch. The woman to fulfill his love and affection fantasy. He was scared but also determined to ask for what he needed.

He walked toward her and when he was near enough, he got down on all fours and started rubbing his body against her legs. When he got her attention he jumped on her lap.

She said to him, "You're wasting your time. Five other guys tried the same thing and got nowhere." It seems all five met the same cat and got inspired.
