Writer = pervert

According to Sigmund Freud. Actually, according to Freud, everyone's a pervert. Thomas Forster in the book How To Read Literature Like A Professor just reinforces that writers are perverts.

Speaking as a writer, sexuality does come up in my stories. But not as often as I'd like. For instance, Character One is a boy and has just discovered that Character Two is a girl. (Character Two masquerades as a boy to get ahead in the world--just like Hillary Clinton!*) Character One and Two have to share a room with each other and Character One is laying down the law.

Character One: " . . . First, don't undress in front of me. In fact, let's not undress in front of each other. That's just . . . I don't want to go there."
Character Two: "Psh. I have a brother. It's nothing I haven't seen before."
Character One: "Well, you're not going to see that nothing on me."

Interpret that as you will. This could turn into an Abbott and Costello routine:

Character One: "Well, you're not going to see that nothing on me."
Character Two: "Your what?"
Character One: "Nothing."
Character Two: "Your . . . nothing?"
Character One: "Yes. It's nothing."
Character Two: "Your nothing is nothing?"
Character One: *raises eyebrows suggestively* "Oh, it's something." ;D

*Disclaimer: I'm actually a member of the Democrat party, and Hillary rocks my socks, almost as much as Obama does. But this lame joke was the last cookie on the plate that I justhad to take.
