I’ve been sitting here in complete silence (what, no music?) trying to come up with a post tonight but the input box has remained blank for a full 20 minutes. I seem incapable of dredging anything up … even now I sit … wait … my brain remains obstinate. My unconsciousness is saying “you fuckup, you haven’t fucked up today. Don’t tempt fate now. Stay silent. Stay down.” 😆
My mind wanders to the subject of my previous place of employment … I received a phone call today from a woman who is the wife of a management committee member of the place who volunteers there during the week. I then think of the card I received in the mail a few days ago. A card from another volunteer – wishing me well. I miss her – the days she worked were always fun. She without fail always had some bizarre little story to tell me.
One particular day she told me how a few days earlier a man in Sydney had come home and caught his wife in bed with another man. So … what do you walk in on your wife cheating on you? You cut the other man’s penis off. And then put it in the bedside table draw.
We should not have laughed at this story, but I in particular couldn’t help myself. I did laugh. It wasn’t that some poor bastard was parted from his penis, but the absolutely bizarre act of it being put in the bedside draw. It was actually a horrific story – the man died and the woman was stabbed multiple times with a knife. But I still can’t get my head around the draw thing.
When we googled to get the details of the story it was surprising to see how often this happens. It is not as uncommon as you would think. We read a story about a man who, while hallucinating (on mushrooms I think), cut off his own penis, put it in a frying pan, then cooked it up and ate it. Then there was the right genius who cut his off in a drunken bet. These weren’t urban myths either … these were legitmate news items.
And there a lot more similar stories out there but I will not inflict any more on you, my readers. I imagine that if there are any males reading this entry are covering their privates protectively while their penises try and retract into their bodies. 😯 Me … I’m just plain shuddering. brrrr.
