You approach the street gang for a little heart to heart.

“Hey, fellas. What’s happenin’?” you say, stupidly. “What seems to be the problem here?”

“Shut up, you jive ass honkey,” the gang leader orders.

“Look, fellas. I think you made your point. Why don’t you let him go?”

“Shut up and mind your own business!” he yelled.

“Let’s make this bitch bleed!” another one shouted.

“Don’t have to ask me twice!” the one with the pipe commented.

They begin to circle around you and you realize that you have made a terrible mistake.

If you drop to your knees in prayer, turn to page 6.

If you stand your ground in defense of your fellow man, turn to page 5

    Sorry, I might have gotten a little carried away with urbandictionary.com But, I do associate CYOA with the 70’s and 80’s for sure. :)

    And I just saw Semi-Pro, which was based in the 70’s, and always loved Airplane and its venture into jive, so I thought I play with it a little bit.

    I like how you turned to both pages and added your spin in two different directions.
