You mean filled with even more stupid. The white spy and the black spy always fall for the others' traps.

How could he tell them the truth that he was playing puppet show on the bed, where he was pretending his peen was somebody he would love to pick off from such a distance that they would look that tiny? That satisfying click, when the hammer went down, was going to be SO satisfying. Except for that round in the chamber.

This was an army thing too; happened to a friend of mine (this would be vietnam-era, late 60's early 70's), he was ordered to go all over the base chanting this and exposing himself. He figured he's go up to the highest ranking officer he could find, maybe he'd be ordered to knock that crap off. The Major watched him, then said, "Carry on private"...

There are a fair number in Sioux Falls, actually. But still, not a LOT lot.

Are you sure he didn't say "Carry on your privates"?

That's what he just missed doing.

One less South Dakota peener to propagate the next generation. Sounds like a big win for Darwin to me.

Oh quite possibly, Greg was never one to shy away from a pun; and it's been 30+ years since I heard him tell the story...

"Are you happy to see me, or is that half a penis in your pocket?"
