Absolutely nothing to do with having breasts
I’m giving some serious consideration to the incorporation of two new things in my life.
The problem is, they’re both very much taboo, so I don’t want to say what they actually are.
Instead, here are some pretty obvious clues:
(Before you ask, no I’m not thinking of changing sexes.)
New thing #1:
-Men have been doing this since we arrived on the planet, yet women are rarely seen doing it.
-If you were to see a woman doing this on the street, you would stop and stare, giggle, and nudge your friends.
-It has nothing to do with having a penis, or having strength.
-It involves the ingestion of a drug.
-It is a far healthier method of ingesting this drug than the method I’m currently using.
-There is absolutely no reason why men should do this but women shouldn’t.
-If my father should find out that I’m doing this, he would be pretty proud!
-You can’t do this in places of work.
-There are famous women who proudly do this, including Shari Belafonte, Janet Jones, Andie MacDowell, and Sadie B. Hawkins (who I’ve had absolutely no luck googling, but I have a picture of her doing this thing topless which I may or may not show you later, depending on how nice you are to me).
-Men seem to harbour a secret fantasy that more women should do this.
(Dad, keep schtum. I know you know what I’m on about!)
New thing #2:
-I bought a book on this subject a few years back. When it was spotted by various people, their reaction was usually negative, along the lines of ‘Don’t go near this shit; my (fill in the blank) did this and she changed for the worse!’
-It was very popular in older cultures, yet people were severely punished for it.
-It is an absolutely fascinating subject to me and to others, though they might not admit it.
-For the most part, it involves a group of people all doing this together.
-If you put this on your C.V., most companies would kick you out before the interview even got started.
-It’s not a religion, though there are parts of it that involve simialar practices.
-Several films have been made on this subject, the ones that I know of are mostly chick-flicks, though gender doesn’t really have that much to do with it.
-You have probably met a handful of people who do this, though you wouldn’t necessarily know it.
-The general consensus is that people don’t believe in this, though they are still afraid/respectful of it.
-It is heavily stereotyped.
-o-
So whatcha think? Are you disgusted or confused? Enthralled or indifferent?
-o-
If you’re completely mind-boggled and feel like staring into space for a bit to think it over, then I have just the thing for you:
Alternatively, if you really couldn’t be bothered, here’s some random comedy:

And a super special cartoon just for me aul’ pair:

(A very short while later….)
Congratulations to Robert (get well soon :) and Deborah!!!
New thing #1 is, indeed, smoking a pipe. And, as promised, here is that picture of topless Sadie B. Hawkins thus proving that pipe smoking can be a very sexy affair altogether!

Don’t believe me? Consult Better Living through Chemistry!
Deborah, you got it, by bingo. New thing #2 which I’m considering having a serious look into is Wicca.
What’s the worst thing that can happen… right?
(Try to think outside the boxymoron before you answer that.)
