Getting Expelled from Vacation Bible School

The usual drill each summer is for churches to sponsor Vacation Bible Schools.  Sometimes, the churches run these programs in different weeks; and enterprising parents enroll their sons and daughters in more than one, hoping to get some childless moments.

Mom signed me up in a V.B.S, run by a Baptist Church.  It met for a week between nine and three o'clock and served cafeteria-style lunches.  It was okay, I guess; but a little heavy on the hymns and Bible stories.  Well, we did get to act a few scenes out.  They vetoed a boy and I playing David and Bathsheba, but I was probably not destined for an acting career.

V.B.S. was cool because it put you with other kids.  Most were so-so about religion, despite being Baptists.  I suspect that Baptist mothers needed time away from their whelps, too.

Anyway, there was a boy that I hit it off with.  By Tuesday, we were sneaking kisses on the sly.  Several times, as a matter of fact.

However, during recess one of the old witches that coordinated the program caught us red-handed.  She sent both of us home for the remainder of the session.

Mom was not especially mad that I kissed a boy; but she was counting on those two remaining days!

When another church did a Vacation Bible School, I figuratively had a scarlet letter.  Getting red A's is easy when you're 12 and going to a Baptist Vacation Bible School.

Changes in Sexual Motivation with Commitment

There's a joke that the most significant substance reducing libido or sex drive in women is wedding cake.

A German researcher, Dr. Dietrich Klusmann from Hamburg-Eppendorf University Hospital, interviewed 530 men and women about their sex lives. 

He found that 60% of 30-year-old women wanted sex "often" at the beginning of a relationship; but within four years of the relationship this figure fell to under 50%, and after 20 years it dropped to about 20%.  In general, the longer a woman was in a committed relationship, the less she desired sex.

However, the proportion of men wanting sex "often" remained at between 60-80%, regardless of how long they had been in a relationship.  

Dr. Klusmann attributed these changes in frequency of desire in men and women as due to evolution.  There may be other factors, though.  Is this a culture thing, or an age thing?

I will admit that I find this a little unsettling.

Do It for Denmark

Denmark has experienced an alarming decline in its birth rate.

However, more Danes are conceived due to their parents getting frisky while on holiday.  This little ad (with helpful translations) drives home the point.

So, spend some time in Paris!  Copulate a little!  Have a little Danish in your future.

Plus the breakfasts in Parisian hotels are first class!

Guessing a Woman's Age

A woman had a face lift, and on the way back to her first day of work, after recuperating; she stopped  at a gas station.  She asked the clerk, "How old do you think I am"?

 The clerk squints his eyes and studies her closely and replied, "You are 32 or 33 years old"?

The woman replied, "I am 47 years old."  The clerk told her, "That is unbelievable."

She left, and decided to stop at a McDonalds restaurant. There she asked a teen behind the counter,"How old do you think I am"?

The teen squinted his eyes and studied her closely and replied, "You're 33 or 34 years old"? 

The woman replied,"I am 47 years old."

The teen told her that she doesn't look any where near that old.

 

As the woman entered the elevator at the building where she worked, she noticed that the only two people on the elevator were herself and a man.  She asked the man, "How old do you think I am"?

The man replied that he can tell the age of any woman by holding one of her breasts in his hand. The woman thought to herself that it was just the two of them on the elevator, and then told the man to go for it.

He slipped his hand into her blouse, looked her in the eye and said, "You are 47 years old."

The woman replied, "That is absolutely unbelievable.  Are you some kind of person with extrasensory perception"?

The man replied, "No.  I was in line behind you at McDonalds."
