Propaganda

Quickly now, a very good/bad joke picked up from an article revieweing recent sex literature in the Nov 2004 Walrus:

Why is Viagra like Disneyland?

A: A one-hour wait for a two-minute ride.

The article is particularly insightful in calling attention to the sports metaphors the new erectile-dysfunction drug manufacturers use to sell their snake-oil:

“step up to the plate”
“stay in the game”
“light the flame”

And from a friend who now lives in Halifax, a very fine selection of the greatest country and western titles ….OK, the list is old, but still worth repeating.

Get your biscuits in the oven, and your buns in the bed

Get your tongue outta my mouth because I’m kissing you goodbye

Her teeth were stained but her heart was pure

How can I miss you if you won’t go away?

I changed her oil, she changed my life

I don’t know whether to kill myself or go bowling

I fell in a pile of you and got love all over me

I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

I’m just a bug on the windshield of life

I’ve been flushed from the bathroom of your heart

Mama get the hammer, there’s a fly on papa’s head

Velcro arms, teflon heart

My John Deere was breaking your field, while your Dear John was breaking my heart

My wife ran off with my best friend, and I sure to miss him

She got the gold mine and I got the shaft

She got the ring and I got the finger

Thank God and Greyhound she’s gone

You can’t have your Kate and Edith too

I spent my last ten dollars on birth-control and beer

HAVE A GRAND WET WEEKEND!
