eunuchs and such |
2002-05-31 |
a scientist told me today that when he was a conscientious (sp?) observer during WWII, he worked at a mental hospital in Maine. apparently there was this ex-elephant trainer with barnum & bailey. well, this circus guy was huge (like 6 foot 7 or something outrageous like that) and overpowered (read: raped)a fellow circus worker. the state of maine castrated this man and sent him to the mental asylum. at the hospital, the scientist and his colleagues affectionately nicknamed this man Eunuch. Eunuch liked to use his huge thumb to pop the glass out of the window sills and then whistle at the cute girls (workers? patients? neighbors?) outside. i've decided that the little scientist telling this story has, in his old age (87) fallen a bit in love with Eunuch and begun to subconsciously emulate him. this would explain the man admitting to me that he once had the distinct desire to slap my ass. i quickly let him know that slapping my ass would not be good for his retirement plans and so, it would be in his best interest (and that of his poor old heart) to not touch or slap any part of my body unless he wanted me to knock him out. i think he appreciated my honesty. anyway, i'd like to mention for posterity that i watched the national spelling bee finals last night. yay Pratyush!! you go boy! (i'll pretend that i wasn't rooting for the fat kid from mississippi)
