Three smart girls pulling straws over a nice guy. If it was the other way, there would be there jerks harassing a woman and it wouldn’t be a joke at all.
Ladies that I known don’t like to share. Pretty boy cheats on them & they come cry on my shoulder. On the rare occasion they show more interest it’s because they expect me to be so grateful for the attention that I’ll be willing to help them raise his kids. No mo’ psychos. End rant.

I hope you didn’t think the girls were talking about sex.
Nice fantasy (no, terrific fantasy), but in the real world, they’d better give him some time to rest. Otherwise he’ll be dead in a month, or at least of no further use to them.

I am not a healthcare professional but when they are done with him I’ll nurse him back to health. Poor sweet baby.

I wonder if they discussed this with him or are they (this being 2020 after all) making some assumptions?

The only thing missing from the original dialogue is a determined gesture and “Well, then we’ll put on our OWN show!”

This is why I loved being a young adult in the late 60s and early 70s. Connecting was so easy and expected. Just say hello and head for the bedroom

Oh, you can kiss me on a Monday
A Monday, a Monday is very, very good
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday
A Tuesday, a Tuesday, in fact I wish you would
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday
A Thursday, a Friday and Saturday is best
But never, never on a Sunday
A Sunday, a Sunday, ‘cause that’s my day of rest . . .
— Never on Sunday, 1960

Credits to MuddyUSA’s post. Here is a funny variation:
Woman #1: “It’s settled! I get him on Monday and Wednesday, and Pepper gets him on Tuesday and Thursday.”
Woman #2: “… and I get him on Friday and Saturday.”
Woman #3: " … but what about Sunday?"
All three women: “Let’s make it a foursome on Sunday!”
