Oh Brad - help me remember an old joke

Cafe Society

There was a joke I read in a long-forgotten book. It took a sentence and dropped off one word each time. Each sentence was a woman talking to a guy, with her resistance dropping with each dropped word, until the climax (so to speak) of the joke. Each new sentence was complete, but the meaning changed with each dropped word. It went something like this:

Oh Brad. Please don’t. Stop it!.
Oh Brad. Please don’t stop!
Oh Brad. Please don’t
Oh Brad please!
Oh Brad!
Oh!

But the third sentence as I remember it doesn’t fit the pattern. Her resistance in that line is greater than the previous line.

Has anyone ever seen this before? I’ve had no luck with an internet search - just too many matches to other things.

It’s not necessarily that great a joke, but it’s been bugging me for years. Maybe it never made sense. Jokes can be that way…

I remember it as a cartoon of a man attempting to kiss a woman, and she’s resisting his advances and saying “Don’t! Stop! Don’t! Stop!” He then manages to grab her face and plant a kiss on her lips, and the last panel is her grabbing him by the face and passionately kissing him back while saying “Don’t stop! Don’t stop!”

I wonder where I read it. Playboy joke section? Asimov’s Treasury of Humor? A bathroom wall?

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Asimov. I have both books, and even though I’ve read them many times, I keep reading them and laughing. I don’t remember that one, though.

I think you need another period: “Oh, Brad. Please don’t. Stop!”

There’s a Cheers episode that includes the line “What are you doing, I said ‘don’t stop’!”

That makes sense! Then it flows better. A simple change, but I wasn’t seeing it.

There’s a song we sung in college to the incoming Freshman during orientation trips. It probably wound’t fly today.

Oh, Lord Jasper do not touch me as she lay between the lily white sheets with nothing on at all
Oh, Lord Jasper do not touch as she lay between the lily white sheets with nothing on at all
Oh, Lord Jasper do not as she lay between the lily white sheets with nothing on at all
Oh, Lord Jasper DO! as she lay between the lily white sheets with nothing on at all
Oh, Lord Jasper! as she lay between the lily white sheets with nothing on at all
Oh, LORD! as she lay between the lily white sheets with nothing on at all
Ooooooh as she lay between the lily white sheets with nothing on at all

I didn’t have any issue with how the OP had it written. It almost seems a bit more believable to me if her level of resistance zigs and zags a couple of times.
