So since I do not sleep and only every once in a while read something of substance, I have a new book (finished actually, surprise) that I actually laughed aloud. This was really hard since it was 2 am. Oops. Anyway, friends at work were talking and so I start trying to retell this moment. I promised to put the exact quote on the blog so they could truly appreciate the humor.
As usual, romance novel about the 19th century with balls, and gowns, and mistress, and theaters, etc, etc. So very handsome duke marries cute young lady. Said duke thinks he can leave new bride in the country while he continues to enjoy his life in London. New bride does not agree and comes to meet him. (Are we all together still, this is the quick version)
Duke does not like that bride in town and provokes her hoping to have her high tail back to the country. New bride does not play that game. (Now we are getting to funny, "scene" so to speak)
Bride at theater with other women while Duke at theater with huzzy. They see each other and then Duke starts to rub the huzzy in the new brides face. While they are talking and fighting, duke says "the lady who accompanies me is rumored to have some remarkable talents". (A dare if you will or a red flag).
So new bride in front of everyone raises her voice a little too loud and responds with "Does she stand on her head when you swive her. Please, do tell me it's something I can aspire to. Perhaps I can quote Ovid while nibbling on your cock. Although I imagine it would be even more of a feat if it was in the original Latin. Not your cock. Ovid."
(As you can imagine) New bride removed from theater by furious duke with many bystanders. I don't really pick a side (maybe sometimes). But I thought that was pretty funny. I was actually thinking she could be one of my friends for sure. Maybe that was why I thought it was so funny. It was a "holy cow, did she just say what I thought she said" moment.
So there you have it. Things that make me laugh while reading. Should I worry anything is wrong with me. Nah..I still think it was pretty funny.

which upholds what everybody's Granny told them---don't dish it out if you can't take it! I am always torn as to whether I wish I could keep my big mouth shut or be glad I tell it like it is (or the way I think it is, which is the same)!
Well said. I think on those same lines and unfortunetly usually tell it like it is.
