the Gentlemen’s Excuse-me
I read whatever’s close at hand when I’m on my exercise bike. Last month it was A Connecticut Yankee etc, last week it was Animal Farm, today it was Bachelor Boys: the Young Ones Book.
There’s this part called “the new kama sutra” where Mike The Cool Person is demonstrating sexual positions with a blow-up doll. His name for one position, “The Gentlemen’s Excuse-me,” nearly made me fall out of my seat.
Here are the complete scripts of the show, Seasons 1 & 2:
Sort of related to the last post, in the book Neil ruminates on a method of cheating:
Well, like, I go along with Mike’s pizza method, except I would use only one lentil.
Yes I would carry only one lentil’s worth of information into that exam. Because I have been inside my head, and on that journey, I asked myself, ‘Oh Neil, how much information can be got onto one lentil?’ and my head replied, ‘All the information in the world Neil, if need be.’
And I pondered this long. Considering the camel and the eye of the needle, and the angels on the head of a pin, and finally I say the great truth that this idea implied. ‘It would have to be a fucking big lentil,’ I said, and my head replied to me, ‘Yes, it would.’
