The Best Laid Plans Of Maus And…
April 22, 2009
Traute?
Everyone knows a Maus and a Traute can’t breed.
Sorry. And apologies to Steinbeck.
You know, what first hit me here was the “three evenings a week for the next six months.” As the trout was ovulating during only one week each month, the mouse was knocking off some recreational for about 54 of those 72 times, and with a former beauty queen. Not bad duty. Are the Greeks unaware of this nuance of human female reproduction? Or are Demetrius and Frank just really good buddies? You know what they say…beware of Greeks bearing gifts. Which I, by the way, always thought was miscoined. What Virgil meant to say was “Beware of gifts bearing Greeks.” Anyway, Frank will end up paying, one way or another; his wife is probably named Dagmar or Magda, and probably looks and acts as though she should be.
An only-in-Europe fairy tale. What happened to artificial insemination? At what point was Ms. Maus made aware of the arrangement? Seems like she would have objected going in if she knew there was a chance her extracurriculars were going to be exposed. And where are the Italian and the Pole?
Ya think this was really an April Fool’s joke?
Thanks to Baldy.
