"Another Story" and the silly, stupid comment


Another Story 

-I like to go to bed with strangers.
-Really? Me, too. 
-Well, how strange are you?
-Strange enough.

That was how we first talked with each other, at a poker table in Bellagio Poker Room in Vegas. It was July. That means two months ago when the ambient temperature was in the 115-120 range for the whole damned month. She had a low-cut blouse almost down to her navel. She didn't wear a bra.  She was on my left. Whenever she leaned forward, I and the whole table could see her enormous nipples which were bigger, I swear, than my thumbs. I was afraid I was developing a cross-eyed problem by the time the session was over because I kept glancing to my left. She must have liked my visual inspection because twice she leaned over and whispered into my ear "Enjoy the view of the pyramids?". I was red faced the first time, but I didn't say anything. But when she repeated the question the second time, I had an answer ready for her,  "Yes, but I would like to know if the pyramids are for real or just an optical illusion because of silicone enhancement." That was when she came up with the follow-through that she liked to go to bed with strangers (to be continued)

Note:

The above paragraphs are part of a "story in progress". I sent it out to various acquaintances and friends. Lo and behold, an irritating and stupid comment arrived in the inbox. The writer missed all the points about the eye-catching, attention-getting paragraphs. He was complaining about "proprietary" bullshit where there was none. Once you post your views on the Internet, they take on a life of their own. The writer showed shallow thinking and lack of empathy and sympathy in criticizing the Pyramid Lady. That prompted me to post the following in response: 

What's the big, fucking deal about the display of tits and nipples in public settings? We are not in Victorian Age, for Pete's Sake. We are amidst the times and mores of nudist colonies and public nudity running amok and rampant pornographic photos and movies on the Net. A more appropriate question is about the motive of the Pyramid Lady, not her behavior per se. I further wrote:

Each human relates to the world in his/her own way. The Pyramid Lady uses her body to connect with men, to get their attention. She has no finesse and is coarse. But a person's inner core should not be judged on the finesse and coarseness spectrum. There are far more important criteria. 

True thinking is hard work. Usually it is a gift. It does not matter how persistent a dude with room temperature IQ is, he cannot understand Shakespeare nor can he grasp the notion that time and space are related and part of the broader framework. Lesser humans tend to exhibit envy, facile generalizations, and put-downs. They cannot accept the notion that they must learn to be comfortable with who they are and their limitations. They fantasize of being greater than they are. They take a bigger bite than they can chew. I despise and feel sorry for them at the same time. All they have is fucking stupid and cheap sarcasms to make them feel " smart". Little do they know any asshole can utter a sarcastic remark. Sarcasm is cheap wit.
