Author: Jack Spratt Title: Jack Spratt's Nomenclature Nomenclature "Mom," he said, "the other boys at school are using two words I don't understand. Can you tell me what they mean?" "Certainly," Mom said. "What are they?" "Pussy and bitch." Mom inhaled sharply, but recovered quickly. "Oh, that's easy," she said. "A pussy is a cat, like our little Chico. A bitch is a female dog, like our Sandy." Craig thanked his mother and ran out the door. But something about his mother's explanation bothered him. So he sought out his father. Dad was in the garage. "Dad," Craig said, "the guys at school are using words I don't understand." "What words, son?" "Pussy and bitch. I asked Mom, but I don't think she told me the right meanings." "Son, never ask your mother about these things. Ask me. Let me explain what they mean for you." He pulled a Playboy from his workbench, turned to the centrefold and drew a circle around the pubic area. "Everything inside the circle is pussy," he said. "Okay, Dad. Then what's a bitch?" "Everything outside the circle." ************************************************************ For the readers who were thoughtful enough to comment, I thank you. .,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, If you enjoyed this moment of humor or information plz drop me a line to let me know someone is actually reading these posts. .,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, , jackspratt1@gmx.com
