SCENE: Male doctor is leering at a skimpily-dressed young woman who has her arms raised up and her chest pushed forward. And, yes, her armpits are exposed.
WOMAN: Look at his eyes popping out! No man can resist...my sexy pits!

His eyes are bulging more than her bosom! Just kidding. Nothing could out-bulge that bosom.

“I have to ask Torchy…what cup size are you?”
“Well, what cup size are you Professor?!”
“Before or after you put on that negligee?”
“I’m starting to feel uncomfortable Professor. My eyes are up here you know.”
“Yes. And they’re a very pretty shade of whatever. I can’t tell at the moment. I’m too busy imaging a tiny Julie Andrews twirling across your neckline and singing that the hills are alive with the sound of music.”
“Is that your favorite song from the movie?”
“I’m more partial to ‘Climb Ev’ry Mountain’ at the moment. But that’s only cos it’d take too many words to make ‘Yodel-lay-e Yodel-lay-e Yodel-lay-he-who’ into a pun.”
“If we start dating, you would have to treat me like a person.”
“Why I’ll treat you like three people! Maybe five if I can my doctor to give me a prescription!”
“You should understand that I’m a strong and independent woman.”
“Independent? Couldn’t say. But strong? Hell, your back muscles could probably put a professional rugby player to shame.”
“Professor, I’m starting to think you may harbor impure thoughts.”
“If you show me what you’re harboring, I’ll show you what I’m harboring…”
And they lived happily ever after. Mostly because she talked him into no pre-nup. The End.
Wow, Jams. That’s perhaps your best yet! The Julie Andrews imagery is gonna stay with me all day!
Jams – Fluff that narrative up a bit and it’s a 5,000 word short story suitable for publication.
Armpits… If you can think about it you know some people have it as a fetish. Within that group some like ’em with hair, some without hair, some only with tattoo’s, and the weirdos like ’em with 5 day stubble.
Hmmm…. I guess there’s no part of the female body I think of as off-putting.
I’m sure you’re right, Dave. Still, I’m more interested in the peaks than the pits.
I’m going to start that as code with my guy friends. “Great pair of armpits, 7 o’clock.”
(Yep, I’m old enough to remember analog clocks.)
How many people read this and thought “Finally, something I REALLY care about!!”?
In that case, I’m sure you’ll care that more panels from Torchy are going to appear here in the future.
Torchy and her armpits, right?
(And btw, that wasn’t code for anything, I’m really not an armpit fetishist.)
