How to ‘Top’ yourself (without using the ‘S’ word).


from the ABC set Humorous Ramblings

Told my wife, ‘I’ll lobotomise myself,
do you know where I’d get a weapon?’
She cried, ‘In the bathroom, on one of the shelves -
and could you please use a condom!’

I said, I’d be well hung by the time she got home,
I was heading for permanent sleep.
She said, ‘Don’t be stupid, you’ve only got up
and don’t make promises, that you can’t keep.’

I told her, I’d rip out my heart with my hands
and then she’d be full of regret.
She said, ‘…although it all depends on the odds..’
she wouldn’t advise a large bet.

I warned, ‘I’ll stick my head in a barrel of water,
I’ll be all limp and there will be tears!’
She said she had got used to that long ago
and been using a dildo for years.

I opened the oven door and kneeling down;
‘Turn it on and I’ll insert my head.’
She said, ‘I can’t; the electric’s turned off..’
but if I liked, I could clean it instead.

I gave up and went for a walk in the park
Saddened; she’d not made a fuss
I was crossing the high street, caught up in my thoughts
When I got hit by the ‘92’ bus.

And what about the poor bus driver? How do you think she feels?

threeleafshamrock | September 29, 2009 - 13:28

It was the wife's sister, she called the ambulance (after checking the bus for damage)

Miss_D_Meaner | September 29, 2009 - 13:30

chuck | September 29, 2009 - 13:30

Bulgakov missed that bit. Mind you he used a tram.

sarah wilson | September 29, 2009 - 14:32

threeleafshamrock | September 29, 2009 - 14:55

Don't be sorry Miss D. err...it is fiction btw LOL. XXX

threeleafshamrock | September 29, 2009 - 15:02

Yea chuck; he did a lot of russian about before he went off the rails though.

threeleafshamrock | September 29, 2009 - 15:03

Keep laughing Sarah; it's good for you ;) XXX

Ewan | September 29, 2009 - 16:38

There is no laughter so loud, nor so useful, as laughter in the dark. I'm glad this got a cherry.

pinda | September 29, 2009 - 16:45

LMAO, I swear some of your poems make my day. Lol are all Irish people gifted with the talent of bringing the inner joy and smiles out of people?

Frances Macaula... | September 29, 2009 - 17:14

*Clap* *Clap*

Keiko Shizuru | September 29, 2009 - 18:04

You have to be Irish to have that sense of humour! I love it !So witty! It's not a surprise you got a cherry :)
keiko

threeleafshamrock | September 29, 2009 - 18:06

Thanks Ewan; felt that you might need a laugh ;) Hope I haven't encouraged anyone into s-s-s-s-strangling their wife, lol

threeleafshamrock | September 29, 2009 - 18:17

Thanks Pinda and yes it's a gift...and it's great for pulling birds (or it used to be, when I looked good in 'Speedos' and that's not today or yesterday, I can assure you LOL) Glad you got a laugh out of it. ;)

threeleafshamrock | September 29, 2009 - 18:20

lol, Thanks for the applause Frances (my wife's name is Frances...so it seems a very unusual statement to make lol) XX

threeleafshamrock | September 29, 2009 - 18:26

Thanks Keiko, I'm guessing that your not Irish; what a lovely name - I nearly said God bless you.

Appreciate your lovely comment and your mysterious name, I must check out your work ;) XX

threeleafshamrock | September 29, 2009 - 18:50

I take it that, that was applause Frances and not some kind of a medical warning? :/ XXX

MistakenMagic | September 29, 2009 - 19:45

Damn it I'm missing another Threeleaf party ;) I brought extra champagne! Well done on the cherry, Chris. This one was a riot!

Magic xxx

threeleafshamrock | September 29, 2009 - 19:52

Thanks Magic...are you trying to get my drunk (he asks hopefully). Glad you got a kick out of it ;) XXXX

littlebit59 | September 29, 2009 - 21:08

I have always said, "If you can make me laugh you can make me cum". lmao I declare. All your cherries are well deserved!

threeleafshamrock | September 29, 2009 - 22:08

Really Jeanne? Wish I knew you when I was 16, it would have saved a hell of lot of work/embarrassment; I'd have brought a joke book with me and cut down on the post-play (took me a while too get the hang of fore-play).
One of my first girl friends offered; 'I'll teach you about fore-play!'
To which I responded; 'Show me afterwards!'

I wasn't called 'Speedy' for nothing....

;) XXX

littlebit59 | September 30, 2009 - 02:31

There you go again with fab-foreplay. Really, after play is always nice to practice. It has been said of sex, it's the way grownups play and have fun together. So, laughing before, during, or after sex should only add to the joy and pleasure of it...in my humble opinion of course. Dr. Ruth might also agree. I'm fairly certain that being somewhat older than you, had you known me when you were 16 you might have learned a thing or two. I was well read and had a skill or two under my skirt at an early age...

threeleafshamrock | September 30, 2009 - 07:47

I like Dr. Ruth; she doesn't give injections! ;)

littlebit59 | September 30, 2009 - 11:58

I know and she's still going strong at 82, without a doubt living proof that a healthy sex life can add years to a woman's life. Now in the case of men, I'm not equipped to say the same. Perhaps it cums down to, all things in moderation saves the well from going dry. Even though Dr. Ruth doesn't give injections, she surely recommends them on a regular basis at least to prevent the main drain from clogging.

threeleafshamrock | September 30, 2009 - 12:05

82? erm...pass! She might recomend them but i doubtshe is getting many.

Cosmetic surgery has helped I suppose but well....take Cher for instance; she has that many face lifts that she must be wearing her arse for a hat and letting her pubes grow down to her shoulders at this stage.

threeleafshamrock | September 30, 2009 - 12:16

I don't understand how Dr. Ruth ever made it, in her profession. I mean, in all honesty, she's got a gob on her, like a bucket of melted lego; maybe that was an advantage ;)

littlebit59 | September 30, 2009 - 14:14

What's a "gob"? I can't imagine that the Dr. Ruth I'm thinking of ever had any surgery. She was on a TV show here in the states, (The Doctors)just last week, and she really didn't look that much different than when I first became aware of her back in the 80s. At that time she would have been close to my current age.

Besides, being an accomplished author and not a surrogate, she's has a great sense of humor. It's honestly not about looks. I know it is for men first and foremost what they see but knowledge is power and power in sex is irreplaceable. No amount of surgery can give or alter what your mind knows or your body feels. True?

Besides, to us Americans, she had a quirky accent. I guess we're all drawn to something about successful people. Lets just say with Dr. Ruth it was never ever about her looks. We trust her knowledge intimately...lol

threeleafshamrock | September 30, 2009 - 14:23

lol, OK, Gob = mouth/facial area (slang). I thought that she hadn't changed much in 20/30 years too, hence the suspicion that (just maybe) she had a surgeon friend who was (just possibly) was helping fight the ageing process ;)

chuck | September 30, 2009 - 18:59

Organ transplants that's the key. I get mine from third world countries. None of that NHS rubbish.

threeleafshamrock | September 30, 2009 - 19:26

Dead right mate...buy 2 get 1 free; anyone want a spare kidney?

Just got my donor card today myself but I pity the one who gets the bits ;)

littlebit59 | September 30, 2009 - 19:32

But, in my opinion, she looks her age and if she's bonking her surgeon in return for making her look younger, omg she got fecked....lol

littlebit59 | September 30, 2009 - 19:37

big time; and probably not in the way one would prefer. If I'm going to get screwed, it ought to at least be worth something no matter how small.

threeleafshamrock | September 30, 2009 - 19:46

I've got a spare kidney? ;)

Nathan Bednarek | September 30, 2009 - 20:35

One word- BRILLIANT! ;-D

Nathan.

chuck | September 30, 2009 - 21:36

Are you the one with the spare kidney? How many miles on it?

threeleafshamrock | October 1, 2009 - 07:30

It was the one that the Guinness hit first so the inside thread is a bit worn...but it's good for another couple of thousand pints? 'course if you're a non-drinker you'll get twenty years...and I'll throw in a free service for the ladies; checking all the other bits as well - no extra charge!

threeleafshamrock | October 1, 2009 - 07:30

Thanks Nathan ;)
