the wrong kind of monologues
Mar. 7th, 2006 11:42 amSo for those you don't already know, my step-father Gordon is a special, special man.
He's liked The Hefner Monologues so much that he thought it would be great if I wrote a response to The Vagina Monologues, entitled, of course, The Penis Monologues. I said, "Gordon, no. It's too obvious, and besides, I am not going to write..."
But he interrupted me and said, "Aha! I have it! The Rectum Monologues! Think about it, you could say, 'I had originally thought to do The Penis Monologues, but that would only appeal to half the audience. So I'm doing The Rectum Monologues because I believe in equality of the sexes!' You see, John? It's perfect, everybody can relate to it!"
...
The worst part is, he's been thinking about it continuously for the past two weeks. I come home from my trip yesterday, and what do I find on the table? The man has written four pages of The Rectum Monologues and printed them out for me. I haven't got the guts to actually read it yet.
I really have no words here.
