Sexual Humor

I tried to lace We Picked Up with as much sexual humor as the story would allow.  Though much of it is subtle rather than bawdy, there are quite a few lines that still make me erupt with laughter.  At the risk of tooting my own horn, following are four examples from the early days:  Roger contemplating sexual activity at truck stops. “It was fun to scan across the scores of shining, stately trucks and speculate about the number of bare waitresses.” (page 7) The guys shower in a Chicago apartment that has no panes in the window above a bathtub. “I hope that family across the air shaft enjoyed their breakfast with my organ hanging out the window the whole time.” (page 23)  With Archie the drunk, “Hey, Arch—isn’t your wife going to be upset about losing your job?” “Not at all.  She loves me.  Haven’t you ever had somebody that loves you?  Why, when I get home she’s going to take me into the bedroom and rape my fucking body.”  (page  30)  Trying to pry information out of Otto as to whether he got laid or not with Alvah, the Navajo girl. “Come on, man, let the world know: Did you insert your wanger into that beautiful body or not?” “He-he-he!  He-he-he!”  (page 64).  I’ll list more when I can. The more wry the humor, the better.
