The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for April 06, 2024

I had to read it 2-3 times to get it, then I LOLed. It might help to read it out loud.

Is that how you find out if a girl is ticklish?

that sounds nuts!

You have to have balls to be part of that research.

That was the first dirty joke I learned.

ELMO.

We Third Grade boys would snicker at the visual sing-along aid by which we should “follow the bouncing ball” above lyrics as they scrolled on the movie screen.

Tickling does not make me laugh.

Let’s test your belief system. Realities or something myth tickle

Lab technician having a ball?!

Very clever

“When you do this test on women, do they have the same reaction, or does it vary?” “Oh. Varies.”

ouch

They’re going to have a ball … uh … actually … two balls.

Did Tickle Me Elmo have test tickles?

I’m not responsible for your injuries, Doc. Sign this waiver, before you proceed.

Is that patient reading Balzac?

I’m not ticklish.

Guess where you can put that feather…

Mind & Body Labs?

I would rather you tickle my fancy.

Patient:" Are you an avid reader?"

Doctor:" Yes, I LOVE de BALZAC!"

The specialist needs to pause because the listener gave pause.

I loved the response on those people in the waiting room. Wide-eyed shock⁄terror.

Trash

Sounds like a place offering cheap vasectomies.

’Had the same reaction when the TA or Professor said, “OK, hand in your testes.”

Reminds me of the old story about quality control at the Tickle-Me-Elmo factory.

They should be playing AC DC’s Big Balls.
