Freaky question of the week

[Bidin~Time]

It went like this:

"now that we're alone you can be honest; I want to ask you a question."

<me> "ok, go ahead"

"Am I dead?"

How do you convince someone they aren't?

 

[Saint Peter]

"Let me stuff this baseball bat up your ass."

"No!!"


"See? Not dead."

 

[Bidin~Time]

"Let me stuff this baseball bat up your ass."

"No!!"


"See? Not dead."

<facepalm>

why didn't I think of that?!

[Noor]

My first love thought he was dead for about 3 wks after an unfortunate incident that involved about 15 mushrooms. I had no luck convincing him that he wasn't dead, I did get him to eat by bugging him, he told me lots of strange things about being elsewhere and just imagining he was there with me, then one day he was himself again. There was no sex, no going to classes and I was really afraid that this time he wasn't going to come out of it. He did cook omelets for me.

After wks of dealing with, "I don't need to _____, I'm dead" and suddenly he is totally normal, no transition, no apology, no nothing. It was the first time I ever swore at someone, I yelled "FUCK YOU!" and threw my hat at him, well, ok his hat, I that wore. He was just stunned. I had always been fairly mellow.

I'd peel down the top of my swimsuit so he could see my boobage.

If there was no response, he's not a boob man and is as good as dead to me.
