”And what are you doing in your new bed?”

”I was looking at p.o.r.n, feeling myself up.”

”Good boy! I take it the horse is out of the barn.”

”He sure is. And he's a big big horse.” horse.”

”If you stroke his neck very gently, he'll calm down.”

”I don't want him to calm down.”

”What are you thinking about as you stroke him?”

”You, of course.”

”What about me?”

”I'm thinking about your a.s.s right now. It was so smooth and soft. It was like a baby's bottom. I wish I could kiss it right now.”

”Really?”

”Of course. I'd kiss it and lick it a bit; then I'd spread your cheeks and put the horse in the barn.”

”He likes being in the barn.”

”He does indeed!”

”And you like older men, huh?”

”They've already been broken in. They don't cry as much when you pop their cherry.”

”You've got a filthy mind, don't you?”

”You started it.”

”If you need to put the horse in the barn, you know where I am. Just bring more lube.”

”The cheese-eater goes to bed at nine?”

”Like clockwork.”

”I'll be there with a very large tube of lube and a very large and eager c.o.c.k.”

”You're going to bale my hay?”

”Is the pope Catholic?”

Noah didn't seem to notice or care.

Me and K. are going to the B-u-f-f-a-l-o P-a-r-k today with Mrs. H. Can I have some money for a soda?

Of course. No soda. Juice. That's the rule.

Please can I have a soda?

You know the rule.
