Got me thinking about this;
“What about me?” Yossarian said. “I stepped out of my tent in Marrakech one night to get a bar of candy and caught your dose of clap when that Wac I never even saw before hissed me into the bushes. All I really wanted was a bar of candy, but who could turn it down?”
Clevinger once suggested that this should have taught Yossarian the evil of sexual misconduct. “It teaches me the evil of candy,” says Yossarian.
- “Catch-22.”
The University of Michigan Provost (second-highest position at the university) was fired about two years ago for sexual harassment of and inappropriate sexual relations with staff.
” ... if a copper gets in trouble, it is almost always with one or more than one of the 3Bs. The 3 Bs are: Bullets, Bimbos, or Booze”
A fourth B is bribes.
I’m single, unfortunately. I was in a single’s chat room some time ago with a lady who declared she was (morbidly) obese, at least a deuce and a half. There was another man in the room who openly declared his love for females of her size and he got extra flirty with her. I had made it plain I prefer petite (or at least athletic) types (my former fiancée did not even weigh 90 lbs). But this big gal kept flirting with me and trying to “get away” from the man who appreciated her heft.
It was totally baffling to me. I was thinking, “Honey, this guy LOVES you. You’re a supermodel to him. Why are you trying to get away from him to try to entice me when I’m not only not interested, but actually rather repulsed ?” Then again, maybe she wanted a guy who would encourage her to lose weight or get healthier rather than a guy who got a boner counting every one of her fat rolls ? Que sera sera.
Well, I hope you find happiness and companionship, but doubt whether a single’s chat room is the place to look. I’d advise enlisting the help of relations. But that only works in close-knit families such as Hasidim and Asians enjoy.
I’ve had all that helpful advice from the counselors who also think my situation is comedy gold. Also they want to give me lots of pills that will keep me from reacting to people threatening me when I’m just trying to work and so on. There was a developmentally disabled chick at one big complex where I worked who would threaten me on a regular basis and was always saying I was a prostitute. So funny! (Because if you complain about a retarded person, you’re MEAN.)
“Don’t talk to anyone!”
“Talk to everyone and make friends so they will know you and you might have some defense once these guys start hitting on you.”
“Why aren’t you married!? If you get married it will stop!”
“Tell people you’re married and wear a wedding ring!”
“Tell people you have a boyfriend even if you don’t!”
“You should work from home!”
“Why don’t you ever talk about your sex life? People don’t trust someone who isn’t honest!”
And then of course the ultimate in punchlines: “That’ll be $200, please!”
I saw a lawyer who encouraged me to file an EoC complaint once. She said, “It sounds like it’s really time for you to do this, Kristi.” I was very encouraged although I knew I was in for a long and difficult haul. I went home and prayed and so on.
Then she apparently called my work and informed them I was about to “do something” and I got fired the next day. That was the day I realized I was going to lose my home because there would be no way I would ever get caught up on my payments after that.
“If you show up to work. Keep to yourself. And not say anything else. Other people will get the hint.”
Haha, they show you a movie when you sign on to work for a temp agency that tells you to do ANYTHING BUT THAT. You should sit in the lunchroom and chat it up with people, apparently.
But maybe you should give me more advice. I love advice. It makes me smile and laugh and forget my troubles.
Well, that sucks. You shouldn't have to go through that.
A knish? Now there’s a cheap date…
Or maybe neither them because a man and woman consensually doing is nothing to get excited about.
