I went to Barnes & Noble with the best and most innocent of intentions - to find a new book to read. While perusing the store, I noticed a guy down the aisle from me was reading something and was really into it. He was twisting and turning the book, bringing it nearer his face and pulling it away. He was about 45 years old, short, bald, dressed like he was auditioning for Beauty and the Geek and grinning ear to ear.
My curiosity got the best of me and I started in his direction as non-chalantly as possible. As I approached, the section titles ticked off....Computer Programming...Management....Self Help. I thought maybe he was reading "Chicken Soup for the Middle Aged Geeks Soul." Three more steps and to both my horror and amusement, I noticed he was standing in front of the Human Sexuality section.
The guy was devouring the Kama Sutra like a 13 year old boy who just found his dad's Playboy collection. It was clear that this particular volume was his third or fourth selection from the rack. All I could think was I had just stepped into the 40 Year Old Virgin, a TV Commercial or quite possibly the path of a serial killer.

You know Mark, some people have no other "outlet" for their "needs". And while I realize that those things are usually best left at home, and for some of us, to batteries, there are those of us who do not have that luxury. And what about the possibility that he wasn't "lonely". What if he was a guy who was looking for new ways to please his lady-friend. I have learned in my travels that some people are not born "gifted". Some folks need to do a little research. So the possibility exists that he could've been expanding his "horizons". So don't judge I say. Smile, nod, tip your hat even. And wish him well...:-)!!
F-ing funny otherwise!!!
was he drooling?
First off, I resent the fact that you were spying on me.
Secondly, this is America. If a man cannot get his rocks off in this country while reading the Kama Sutra in a public, nationally established bookstore, then this is not the kind of country I want to live in!
Viva Darrell Wrong!
