So my sister has to memorize a speech from Shakespeare’s Julius Ceasar for one of her classes. After hearing her recite it a few times the boring, normal way, I decided to liven things up a bit by suggesting she replace one word in each line with the word “poo”. While that was funny, it wasn’t as funny as I thought it would be, so we tried again with the word “wang”. The first line she said was this:
“Friends, Romans, countrymen. Lend me your wangs.”
Whereupon we both collapsed to the floor in fits of helpless giggles. Other gems included:
-“The evil that wangs do lives after them.” (This one actually makes sense if you think about it.)
-“The good is oft interred with their wangs.”
-“Thrice I offered him the kingly wang, which he did thrice refuse.”
Who knew Shakespeare could be so dirty ? So, anyone else do anything like this, or am I the only one with the mind of a six-year-old?
One of Romeo’s kinsmen asks him where he was last night, his bed was not slept in (after the balcony scene.) He says, “the sweeter rest was mine,” meaning he spent the night with Juliet.
Hamlet is chatting up Ophelia (?) and asks if he may lie in her lap. She’s offended. He says, approximately, “Did you think I spoke of country matters?” Get the pun?
Hamlet: Lady, shall I lie in your lap?
Ophelia: No, my lord.
Hamlet: I mean, my head upon your lap?
Ophelia: Ay, my lord.
Hamlet: Do you think I meant country matters?
Ophelia: I think nothing, my lord.
Hamlet: That’s a fair thought to lie between maids’ legs.
Ophelia: What is, my lord?
Hamlet: Nothing.
I’m turning 30 in a month. I work in a professional environment, and I think I do a pretty good job dealing with management and clients both. My older sister also works in a professional environment, which includes interviews on the radio…she always does very well, gets her point across, and entertains with a sophisticated sense of humor. My little sister is in her 2nd year of law school and often debates topics such as corporal punishment and the death tax with seasoned professors and experienced lawyers.
But when we all get together for Christmas, all it takes is for one of us to say “poop”, and we’re all in hysterics. We marvel at how easy (and truely funny) it is to so quickly lapse back into ‘bathroom humor’.
So no, I don’t think I’ll ever grow up either. And no, I don’t think that’s at all a bad thing. And if you judge me negatively for it, well, you’re just a vomit-faced poopy-head.
Note to self: don’t read MPSIMS threads while eating Wendy’s. And here I thought everyone who talked about spraying Coke onto their monitors was kidding. Time to go fetch a paper towel.
But soft, what wang through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the wang!
Arise, fair wang, and kill the envious moon
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou, her wang, art far more fair than she!
Be not her wang!, since she is envious.
Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
And none but wangs do wear it. Cast it off!
