Okay. I’ll admit it. I’ve given Tony Isabella permission to write about my sex life.
I think Tony’s doing a bang up job so far. And remember—it’s all true. Except for the parts we made up.

SCENE: Man in foreground seems oblivious as three women talk about him in the background.
WOMAN #1: It’s settled! I get him Monday and Wednesday while Pepper gets him Tuesday and Thursday.
WOMAN #2: And I get him on Friday and Saturday.
WOMAN #3: Why do you get him two nights in a row?
WOMAN #2: Because after two nights with me…that boy is gonna need a day of rest!

“Do I know him?..”
“In the biblical sense? I’m sure you do. You know everybody that way.”
“Are you limping? Then no. You’ve never met.”
“Don’t know. Do you watch a lot of gay porn?”

“No. But you probably will…Darn it…
…I guess I’ll just have to settle with sleeping with the football team. And the lacrosse team. And the baseball team. And the math teacher…”
…And I mean ‘darn’ as in I need you knit me a new sweater. Not ‘darn’ as in ‘Damn you you filthy thieving slut! Is there any man you can keep your sweaty, sticky thighs off of?’. Just want to make that clear.”
…And the gym teachers. And their wives. And their wives’ girlfriends. Oh! And that bald guy who comes to the PTA meetings and eats all the cookies but doesn’t have a kid going to this school. He drives a sports car you know.”

“As if Diane cares…with Dave around! After two minutes with Dave, any sex drive you have goes the way of the Dodo!
“What a yum-yum specimen! And as a professional cannibal, I know a thing or two about yum-yum specimens!
“C’mon…let’s hurry! The gang’s at the sweet shop waiting for you! And they already put their deposits down for lap dances!”
You know, Jams, I think I could do a whole novel based on that quote: “After two minutes with Dave, any sex drive you have goes the way of the Dodo!”
Well, done!
The original is so saccharine it makes my teeth hurt.
You’re right Jams. It’s like the lead in to some 4 way porn. A “French Farce” porno with lots of “the old in out” and in and out of doors of course.
Ultimately, David, don’t all pornos qualify as “French Farce.”
