But for some reason, sex is dirty. Maybe God was a Republican. Somebody said, 'All right, you want to propogate, go ahead, but only late at night, with all hte doors closed, man on top, once a week, that's it.' But not only can you eat the charred decaying flesh of other major mammals, you can do it in broad daylight and invite all your friends to watch. . . What if sex was clean but food was dirty? -Punks in passing cars would flash you the fork -Locker room talk would change: 'Hey man, how'd you do this weekend?' 'Two burgers and a bag of french fries. Crinkle cut.' -Garlic would be illegal in most southern states -Foreplay would be listed as a menu selection -Most suburban school districts would ban home ec -Hookers would become cooks: 'Hey, big boy, looking for a hot meal? Wanna crack some crab?' -Parents would tell their children not to play with their food or they'll go blind -Kids would remember the first time their mother caught them marinating I love the Utne Reader- :-)
