Fifty Shades of Green
(I'll bet the writing would be better)

So I read Fifty Shades of Grey. This is the book written by female British author “E. L. James” that became a huge bestseller, devoured by pretty much every woman on Earth except my wife (or so she claims).
I think I might be the only man who read this book. I did it sneakily, hiding the cover, especially when I was on an airplane, which actually is a good place to read this book because you have access to a barf bag.

I haven’t laughed so hard or been so tickled by an article in years.

Hysterical!
I have loved Dave’s humor for years. This is hysterical. Thank you for posting.
Ok maybe it was already posted but this is the First I saw it and I laughed.
I think I hurt myself laughing!!!
“But never mind the other two books. The first book was the big one, the one tens of millions of women could not put down. So to get back to my original question, from the standpoint of a guy sincerely trying to understand women: Why was this book so incredibly popular? When so many women get so emotionally involved in a badly written, comically unrealistic porno yarn, what does this tell us? That women are basically insane? Yes.
I mean no! No. Of course it does not tell us that. What it tells us is this: Women are interested in sex.
This may be obvious to women, but, trust me, it is not obvious to men. In fact, it is contrary to everything men are led to believe, dating back to puberty. When a young man goes through puberty, he basically turns into a walking boner. He would happily have sex with any receptive female or room-temperature vegetable. He thinks about having sex all the time, but the only person he knows who wants to have sex with him is himself. He would be very interested in having sex with an actual human female, but he has no earthly idea how to accomplish this. Generally he spends years in this frustrating state before he manages to find a woman willing to have sex with him. Some males become so desperate that they resort to paying for sex, or even running for Congress.”
ROTFLMAO!!!
Me: Hey, do you secretly want me to tie you up and flog you?
My wife: No.
Yes, communication is the key to a successful relationship.
Bwahahaha!
Funny
Maybe I’m just too ordinary for the stuff in that book-when I read that article, I laughed until my Husky howled at me for waking her up. As for the book-I bought the thing from B&N online, skimmed through it, thought it sounded like WAY too much trouble to go to for sex, and passed it on to a neighbor up the road-also a single woman-who has fantasies of being taken captive and ravished by a 7th century Saxon raider or a vampire...

“Search is your friend.”
______________________
Two things.
Thing One: Search term “Dave Barry” returned no results.
Thing Two: Your link was to a March 2014 post, yes, almost a year ago.
Might as well go for Thing Three: Have you noticed anywhere in your attention to such things that 50 Shades is now a current topic of February 2015, so to the average, non-anal mind, the post is perfectly topical and appropriate, inasmuch as the movie is just now released?
All due respect. Get a life. Did you even notice how many others enjoyed reading the post? Isn’t that a reason for this site to exist?
Crap and double-crap!
Search is your friend.
_____________________
One more thing: I don’t know if anybody else has noticed, the search function on this site really kind of sucks.
Thing one. I always change from Keywords to Title, then type in one of the words from the headline. That’s how I found it under “Dave Barry”. You can’t depend on what people enter into keywords.
Thing two. Actually that was posted this morning. Look at the bottom of Post #1 for the actual date it was posted, not the date of the article above that was typed in.
My understanding is that the guy who pays for this sites servers requests we search and not post dup articles. I think you will find the search works fine if you use try my suggestion above. Or don't.
You don’t understand at all. The topic is fresh, making the year-old re-post entirely worthwhile. Even if I didn’t search (for a recent post). Had I found the year-old post, I still would have posted anew due to new and pertinent happenings. Did you not notice I mentioned the film opened this weekend?
You’ll have to forgive me. Educated by nuns both physically and verbally abusive. Causes me to snap back at what Sir Winston called “errant pedantry.”
