It&#8217;s       not TOO late. Only about 10:30 or 11:00pm. What&#8217;s wrong with these       places???<\/p>\n<p>So we&#8217;re at Mugg &amp; Bean, having ascertained that they&#8217;re       still willing to serve us coffee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s not talk about the       play,&#8221; says Bianca.<\/p>\n<p>And she&#8217;s right. We can&#8217;t. One of my friends stars in it, Ashley Dowds, and his performance is good. But the play isn&#8217;t. It&#8217;s just lame.<\/p>\n<p>Bianca says, &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s an award       winning play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Where??? Where did it win awards?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In       Britain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Basically, the play is about a psychiatric institution somewhere in Britain. A junior psychiatrist wants to commit his patient. The supervisor wants to release the patient. Turns out that the patient thinks that the orange oranges sitting in a fruit bowl are actually blue. Not just the skin, the insides too. And there&#8217;s a disturbing incident in his past in which it is implied that it&#8217;s possible that this nutcase has actually had sex with an orange. Shock and horror!!!<\/p>\n<p>Pah!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had sex with a cucumber before. Not just once. (This is strictly a male masturbation thing I&#8217;m revealing here. It was told to me by a good friend of mine now living in Cape Town, and I tried it, and it works. Open your mind before you read further. Right&#8230; this is what you do&#8230; you buy a cucumber of above-average girth. You take it home, cut a section about ten centimetres long. Use a teaspoon to hollow out the flesh, so you&#8217;ve got a cylinder. Be sure to not take out TOO much flesh. You want a fairly tight fit. Soak the hollowed out cucumber in hot water for a minute or so to heat it up to body temperature. Apply cucumber to erection and manipulate. According to my good friend in Cape Town, the inside of a cucumber is the closest vegetable simulation of the inside of a vagina known to man. I&#8217;ll vouch for that.)<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s the outrage when a psychiatric patient shags an orange??? Aside from the fact that he must be out of his mind, cos it stings, shouldn&#8217;t somebody tell him to use a cucumber instead? <\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">Roy Blumenthal is a writer, director, artist, and <a href=\"http:\/\/snipurl.com\/visualfacilitator\">visual facilitator<\/a>.
