On Saturday, I woke up at 7 a.m. and went downstairs
for a cigarette. But it was pissing rain outside, so I had to settle for a
piece of nicotine gum instead. Then I called my mother using Facebook
messenger. I was sitting on the sofa at the time.
She said, “You look rough. What’s wrong with you?”
“I had beer at the chicken house last night. Perhaps I
overdid it.”
“How much did you drink?”
“Only a pitcher.”
She shook her head in disdain. “That’s insane! A full
pitcher? Are you out of your mind?”
“A pitcher really isn’t that much alcohol. I used to do
that with no problem at all.” I paused for dramatic effect. “I’m really worried
about myself. I’m turning into an old lady. Soon, I’ll be reduced to sipping
tea and snacking on Kit-Kats.”
“Have you been eating properly?”
“Not so much these days. I usually just have jelly
donuts for breakfast.”
“Jelly donuts? What about your diet?”
I sighed heavily. “I don’t have time for that shit
anymore. I’ve got a full-time job. Plus I’m taking on the role of a housewife.
And let me tell you something. A woman’s work never ends.”
“Maybe you need to go back to bed.”
I nodded. “I think you’re right.”
And that’s exactly what I did. I slept for another
four hours. In fact, I didn’t wake up until noon. But there was no time to
relax. I had to clean the bathrooms. I performed this feat using copious
amounts of bleach, and I just about burned my lungs out. I spent the rest of
the day coughing and sneezing and blowing my nose. The snot wouldn’t stop dripping
down my face.
Rice-Boy Larry said, “Are you catching a cold?”
“No. It’s the bleach. There’s got to be a safer way to
keep the shitters clean.”
My son went to his room to play computer games while I
enjoyed Netflix. I watched a three-hour documentary about Johnny Depp’s
divorce. He used to be married to a beauty queen named Amber Heard. Their
marriage was a real disaster. They couldn’t stop beating the shit out of each
other. Mr. Depp even lost the tip of his finger when she hit him with a full
bottle of vodka. Yet it was tough to feel sorry for either of those loons. They’re
both a couple of Hollywood assholes.
The next day, I walked to church by my lonesome. Rice-Boy
Larry didn’t want to come. Instead, he hung out with his friends. The weather
was brutal. By the time I made it to the building, I was covered in sweat. I
had to hose myself off in one of the public restrooms.
The sermon was about the Samaritan woman at the well.
Jesus gently rebukes her because she’s had too many husbands in her life. But
he doesn’t send her to the fiery pit of hell. Instead, he offers her living
water so that she won’t have to spend the rest of her life living like a
thirsty sexual deviant.
I notice that Christ often gives sexual sinners a pass
as long as they repent. Just look at John 8 and the tale of the adulteress.
That’s why I never slam homosexuals in spite of their anal hijinks. It’s not my
place to judge. I’ll leave it to the Lord.

A tsp of bleach disinfects as well as a cup. In fact, 3 drops will disinfect a gallon of water.
ReplyDeleteIt's powerful stuff. I might mask up the next time I clean the shitters.
DeleteYou sound utterly worthless as a human being.
ReplyDeleteYou're probably right. But what's a boy to do?
DeleteI use Comet to clean my toilets. The abrasive powder helps scrub everything glistening clean. I recommend it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, God is merciful to those who repent, but He also rained fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah. The Bible makes clear that fornicators and adulterers will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Nor will those who "abuse themselves with mankind". Those who defy Him and refuse to repent (which means abandoning their sins completely) will burn in Hell. That's not me judging a anybody; that's me telling/ reminding everybody what God's Word says on the matter.
Being careful not to offend is not a virtue when you are trying to warn people to flee a burning building.
Fornication and adultery both zap your strength when you should be using that energy cleaning your weapons, storing foods, building schools, picking up trash, digging wells, helping the widow, and fortifying your village against the Godless savages who are coming.
DeleteI believe strongly in good manners. But that's just me. It's the way I roll.
