“I have been thinking seriously about us!..
…Sometimes. so much so that I forget the name of the man I’m sleeping with!”
…But then the Metamucil kicks in, and I forget all about us.”
…But then I start thinking about bacon. Crispy, perfectly cooked bacon. Bacon, bacon, bacon! Oh how I love bacon!!! Do you think they have some on the buffet table? Wait. Were we talking about something? Let’s talk some more about it over some bacon!”
…But then I think ‘Wait. His name’s Clyde. Says so on his birth certificate and everything. Do I really want to help someone whose parents would name ‘Clyde’ pass his genes on to future generations?’ I’ve got to think about the good of the species Clyde.”
…And when I about you, I touch myself! Huh. That could be a catchy song lyric if this were the 90s.”
Jam, while your remarks are always fun, I thought this batch was particularly and brilliantly funny. Thanks as always for commenting.
Thanks
The only other “Clyde” I can think of is Ahab the Arab’s camel, Clyde. From the old Ray Stevens album ‘Guitarzan’.
A quick google search doesn’t show a lot of famous Clyde’s.
Wow! You’re right, Dave. I have never met a Clyde. Are there any Clydes out there? Is there a secret club for Clydes? If so, I want to know!
Come back Bonnie and Clyde! All is forgiven.
I actually had a great great great uncle Clyde!
