Mellow Yellow 16 β Susan Sinks Ms. Shagnasty with a Yellow Torpedo
Susan told us the following story in a number of different e-mails. I took the liberty of editing these letters to make the story easier to read.

Ms. Yin poked her head into Susan's office.
"Dr. Wu. You don't have any patients scheduled for the rest of the day and I've caught up all the paperwork. Can I go home early?"
"Why not? I've kept you late a couple of times this week. You deserve some time off. Get out of here and have fun for a change."
Susan leaned back in her chair, relaxed and began to enjoy the moment. Her patient load had been heavy this week as well as a couple of drug ODs that had required a trip to the hospital in the dead of the night. Now she had time to think about her private life. Susan's glance passed over her fingers and the ring that Charles had placed on that finger the last weekend. She hadn't had the opportunity to think about her engagement all week. In one way, Susan wished that Charles hadn't rushed the engagement. It had been only a month since they had officially met. Would her Chinese friends think that she was a fool, rushing into marriage? Susan knew that some of them would think that she was foolish just for marrying a white guy.
On the other hand, Susan and Charles had been lovers for over six months in reality. This was more than enough time to run a range of emotions towards Charles finally concluding with love. Her first emotion for Charles had been pity for his psychological impotence. Then, Susan was curious if she was woman enough to be the one to cure Charles. When she managed to seduce Charles by pretending to be a sex therapist, Susan was alternately intimidated and fascinated by Charles' huge dick. Then, Susan experienced pride that she had raised Charles' dick from the dead and that she was the only woman who had been dealt a fucking by it. Finally, she fell in love with Charles as he confessed he had seen through Susan's sex therapist charade all the time.
It had been a dodgy few months, as their relationship remained hidden from view to save both their careers. Those few months convinced Susan that Charles was more than just another man carrying a big stick. Charles was an intelligent, sensitive man, interested in the Chinese people, their language and culture. Susan couldn't wait until she was married and could enjoy Charles every minute of the day, in or out of bed.
Yes, they should rush into marriage. Not only were they suited for each other but the time was getting short. The British were leaving in less than a year. There would be much to do in the year so Charles would not be sent home to England with all the other civil servants. Susan frowned. That meant that she had only a year to humiliate Ms. Shagnasty. Yes, she had annoyed the white bitch by dancing with her date, Charles' boss, at the New Year banquet. Annoying Ms. Shagnasty was not enough punishment for the way he had humiliated Charles.
Susan learned that Ms. Shagnasty took great delight in telling anyone who cared to listen about their drunken encounter one evening and that Charles "never got the damn thing up. Soft as pud it was, luv." She made no secret of the fact that she was fucking Charles' boss, Richard Horner just to get a promotion. To complete this picture, Ms. Shagnasty insulted Susan to her face by implying that Chinese knew nothing about sex and that Susan was ugly. Charles kept saying, "leave it alone, dear one." Charles was merely English. Only the Chinese could understand the loss of face from saying that a man has a weak willie. Susan vowed that she would bring justice to Ms. Shagnasty, but she knew so little about the enemy, other than she used sex as a weapon, she was a lazy worker and she despised the Chinese people.
Susan recalled the Chinese New Year banquet when Horny Dick had developed an interest in Susan. He had danced with Susan and she shuddered at the thought of the dirty old man's hands feeling her all over. If Susan could stimulate Horny Dick's interest in Chinese women, Susan would have the perfect conditions for Ms. Shagnasty's racial, sexual and employment downfall. She would have to find a Chinese woman for Horny Dick. It couldn't be a woman like herself. It would have to be a promiscuous Chinese woman with a taste for white dick. She would have to be so desperate for a lay, even from an old white geezer like Horny Dick, that she would have to be crazy.
Crazy. That was the missing piece to her plan. There was no shortage of crazy women in Susan's practice but nobody immediately came to Susan's mind. They were all either married, too old or even too crazy to appeal to Horny Dick. Besides, most Chinese are racially prejudiced, especially when it came to sex. Chinese women are terrified of getting stuffed by a black or white dick. Susan's mind went over every Chinese woman she knew past and present until she remembered Tang Fang. Tang Fang was perfect for Susan's purpose.
Tang Fang was a manic-depressive and as promiscuous as a bunny rabbit, a typical bipolar. Furthermore, her favourite flavour of dick was white, as a result of her student days at Berkley. Susan always thought it was the dope and the free love that had created Tang Fang's obsession with white dick. Tang Fang had come to Susan for her periodic bouts of depression but had left because she didn't believe Susan that her periods of energy, mania and promiscuity had the same cause as her depression. If she could only somehow bring together Tang Fang and Horny Dick.
Susan looked down at her slender ring finger. Yes, an engagement party would be the perfect venue to bring Tang Fang and Horny Dick together and set her plan in motion. If she could only find Tang Fang's telephone number in her files. Yes, there it was, along with her English name, Faye. That would help because the English always found Fang to be an amusing name, for some reason. She would also have to refer to Horny Dick by his real name, Richard Horner. Chinese considered the diminutive for Richard, Dick, to be just as funny.

Faye Tang looked around her tiny apartment in despair. When she was depressed, Faye had no ambition at all. It was all she could do to drag herself to work, never mind, keep her apartment tidy. Nobody could understand how Faye's mood could suddenly plummet from the laughing, energetic, aggressive person that Faye knew was the real her to the depressed pile of clay she now was. Goodness knows, she had tried all kinds of doctors and medicines, both Chinese and Western. Acupuncturists assured Faye that she was a classic case of an imbalance of yin and yang. The acupuncturists had stuck pins into every square centimeter of her skin that Chinese etiquette permitted until she was a mass of pimples.
Faye had asked herbalists what they could do. They would always shuffle among the wooden drawers lining their shop and mix up concoctions of dried plants, tree fungus and bear gallbladders. The herbal remedies either gave Faye the shits or made her honk up her lunch. Still, she was depressed.
Faye had tried meditation, self-help techniques and mystic religions from Falun Gong to Scientology. She had listened to every feelgood guru with Hong Kong on his schedule but she only became more depressed as she realized that she could never attain whatever planes of enlightenment the guru required.
The only person who put a name to her condition was Dr. Wu. Dr. Wu said she was manic-depressive or bipolar or something like that. Faye Tang didn't believe Dr. Wu because she felt on top of the world most of the time. Faye's only problem was that she had the blues on occasion. Dr. Wu. had insinuated that when Faye felt good, she was acting just as destructively as when she was depressed. Faye resented when Dr. Wu inquired about her many affairs and tried to show her that this was part of her problem. Dr. Wu had tried to make her take lithium but all it did was make Faye thirsty and pee all the time. Faye tried other drugs but never took them for more than a week when she developed side effects. Faye thought, "Dr. Wu only looked like she was being helpful. I'm not crazy. I'm just sad sometimes."
Faye's condition had been with her for years and had alienated friends and lovers alike. Faye didn't realize that, when she was in her manic phase, what she interpreted as energy and aggressiveness others perceived as anger and attitude. Faye had never had a relationship that she could charitably call long-term. In fact, the last piece of dick she had was well over three months ago during one of her manic episodes. She had become obsessed with a co-worker, Yuk Yung, despite the fact he was 15 years younger and already married. Fay never noticed the knowing smiles as she told everyone in her office that Yung was her soul-mate. Faye had managed to seduce the fellow and he had come back repeatedly for the same treatment. Yuk Yung wasn't a bad lay, Faye thought as she reminisced about her last affair. Faye didn't realize that it was her insistence that Yung dump his wife that had broken them up.
Faye looked in the mirror. "I'm not old looking," Faye thought. "I haven't been bingeing on food and I still have a young woman's figure. A woman of 40 still has sexual needs. Why can't I get laid?" Faye thought about her student days in the United States. She didn't have any lack of dick then, 99% of it white. Faye thought of all the white guys she had left behind in the U.S., each and every one of them left yearning for more yellow pussy. If her last piece of dick was three months ago, her last white dick had to be years ago.
Faye wondered why had she returned to Hong Kong? In America, all the white guys chased her and she could have white dick by the kilometer. Here in Hong Kong, the Chinese men didn't appreciate how good their women were in bed. Faye's thoughts raced through failed relationships and one-nighters. "Maybe I've been trying men that are too young. Maybe I should look for older men?"
If she only had the money, she would emigrate to Canada before the Chinese takeover of Hong Kong. All it would take was $120,000 Canadian and a flash her winning smile to the Canadian visa clerk. Maybe, if the clerk was white and male, she would get some white dick accompanying the proper papers for Canada. Was there a shortage of escort agencies in Canada? If she could get to Canada, Faye would have a thriving profitable business that would provide her with all the white dick she needed.
The telephone interrupted Faye's thoughts. Faye thought: "Who could be calling such a sad, depressed, worthless person as Tang Fang?" Faye lifted up the receiver.
