Episode THREE: Tools of the trade, AKA advances in medieval torture
by Philomena Cunk
Some say Cleopatra had it easy. Probably because her people worshipped the
sun. Who doesn't smile when the sun shines? Sadly, time progresses like only
time can. According to official lore the middle ages were pretty dark, even
darker than the dark ages that happened at the same time. Same place also.
Then Goofy Guty - aka Herr Gutenberg invented the printing press and all hell
broke loose. Men and women were officially no longer equal. Not that it was
written in stone. Much worse, the revised gospel soon spread across the old
continent. Because she was created out of his rib. One, two, three and
counting. Nope, all 11 still there.
"May I?"
"Yep all 11 accounted for."
"Love you too."
One
Woman, one Guy. Match made in heaven.
One can only wonder why men who can only count up to ten suddenly stop eating
their T-bone steak when a pretty girl walks by. How's that for unequal?
Anyway, that day it started raining. Still not sure it has stopped. And
Christianity is not the only religion that places men on a pedestal, they all
do it. Which is one more reason why I'll never visit Club Pedestal.
