Magpie Tales#92

Tess's tender picture this week shows us the late Paul Newman and lovely Joanne Woodward.


But will this pair stay together 50 years . . . ?

He:    This isn't much like Rodin's.
She:   What?
He:    "The Kiss"
She:   The what?
He:    You're not listening. I was talking about Rodin's "The Kiss"
She:   Eh? Your mind wandering or what?
He:    It's a renowned statue. Of a couple kissing. By Rodin.
She:   We're a couple kssing. Whadda we need this roadman for?
He:    Not Roadman. Rodin! Rodin! He was a sculptor. He was French.
She:   So? He sculpted a french kiss? Mummy told me never to kiss with my mouth full.
He:    They're both sitting up.
She:   Who are both sitting up?
He:    The kissing couple Rodin sculpted. They're sitting up.
She:   That's how we started. Sitting up.
He:    His hand is on her thigh.
She:   So it's wanderin' hands now, not wanderin' minds? Over skirt or under?
He:    Neither, really.
She:   Eh? Gotta be one or the other.
He:    Not necessarily. The thing is . .
She:   She's wearing trews? 
He:    No. The thing is . . in the statue . . they're both . . (He whispers)
She:   Well! If this isn't the most round about 'Get yer kit off' chat I've ever heard.
He:    Look! I wasn't suggesting . .
She:   'Course you were! Wasn't born yesterday. This statue. The bloke. Can you see his?(She whispers)
He:    No need to be coarse -
She:   Or did the Roadman have an accident with his little sculptor's jackhammer?
He:    Oh . . really!
She:   You started it. You know what your problem is?
He:    What's my problem then?
She:   You think too much.
He:    I think too much? Come to think of it Rodin did another statue called "The Thinker." Pensive guy sitting on a rock.
She:   Wondering who to kiss next? Was he stripped off for thinkin' as well?
He:    Funnily enough - actually statues mostly are. "David" for example, by Michelangelo
She:   Gawd give me strength!

  1. I can almost imagine this being carried out with Cad and Ada - but with roles reversed - he to she, and she to he!! Most funny, Doctore FTSE. :)

  2. Mr.Trellissimo . . it would be rewarding to get that close to Ada from time to time.
    I like your Very Silly Pieces, Doc. This one rocks.

  5. I'd advise people not to THINK about kissing - just do it - with or without clothes! Hehehe!

  6. Dear Dr.FTSE: "trews" and "kit" got to think (and thank-you)all that I am learning! Yes something new and vital here; especially whenit comes to inspecting those famous works of art! Chiccoreal

  15. How do you know this conversation? Must have experienced it a few times?
    You really need to change your patter if you want to get anywhere. Or change partners, of course.

  17. "Well! If this isn't the most round about 'Get yer kit off' chat I've ever heard."

    Thats the funniest line I have read for a long long time. Great dialogue with loads of areas that got guffaws from me and strange looks from my partner ;-)

Thank you for stopping by. To make life easier for you I have turned off the new indecipherable and time-wasting verification words. Would you care to "feedback" to Blogger and complain about them, like I did?
