I went over to R's for a dose of blues and some Wheel of Fortune, on which we gorged ourselves. Pat Sajak will never not be funny.
We were also listening to James Brown singing
"Woman come here quick / Bring me that lickin' stick" which sounds filthy until you realise he means a stick for punishment lickin'. Which, you know, if you have a dirty mind, it still sounds kind of filthy.
And then R converted it and we were left with:
Vanna come here quick
Bring that lickin' stick
Woman you get me hot
Turnin' that letter card!Which is just uncalled for, and also hugely funny.
About halfway through the evening I noticed something that
looked like this on the coffee table, and I picked it up and said to him, "R. What on earth is this?"
"It's a dildo," he answered. I stared in bemusement at him, and really the sad thing is that what went through my mind was not "Why does R have a dildo" but rather "It's kind of small for that, isn't it?"
Then he saved my sanity and said, "It's a Botswanan drafting bone. It's a pipe. You smoke tobacco or, you know, whatever out of it."
So then we sampled some Whatever, watched some Wheel, and I came home.
