"The Prowl?"

This past Friday, my mother had a dinner party. I came home from work all haggard and joined right in. This one guy asked me where I worked. I told ‘em. He asked me if I liked it. I told him it sucks. Then he asked me how the ladies were treating me. It was awkward and I got bored trying to think of a funny answer, so I said “Not well enough” and felt like an idiot. “You’re on the prowl,” he said. “I’m really just lonely and desperate. Or is that ‘the prowl’?”
