In it's twisted way, this has to be -- though unintentionally I'm sure -- one of the funniest things ever written. Certainly one of the purplest. I love it.
Thanks Chris. I actually retyped this one for Gilbert, and it was quite an experience.
I was cackling through "the lamentable nudity," "the abominable coitus," "the grand hallelujah of all-powerful, all-conquering neurosis," and all the permutations of "voluptuousness."
