dollars on a woman Im fucking something, if not her . . her dog, cats, fish,
birds . . Im fucking something. he
laughed its remained funny even having
told it twentythirty times he liked to
tell it at partiesplant seeds
also humourously informing his date whawas in store she wasnt keen catch a ride home with someone else
the other day he stopped over and
found blueballs talking with his sons they had taken a woodburning stove out onto his porch he was replacing it with an ecofriendly
burning-some-kind-of-briquette stove
his eldest was telling him
whoever he bought the new stove from ought to take away the old one
he was telling his son he didnt
think he wanted to impose on the retailer
thus he interrupted
I have two
words
that confounded his eldest the younger son seemed piqued
Two words? blue balls said Again?
Yes
Fuck, open your mouth and
say. his son obviously peeved him
Pre Nup
his son laughedpickedup on it
quicker than his father and younger brother
the reason his fathers divorce didnt
bloody his nose too badly was because he suggestedstrongly that his dad have a pre nup the way he saw it Forgive me for saying so, but I don’t see
any reason why me and my brothers should share what you and Mom accrued over a
lifetime with a woman whose been married thrice before. Did
you really say thrice I did. OHwow thrice
