Rubes by Leigh Rubin for November 03, 2022

You’re mummified Ramses. You’re already an old Giza.

whenever i sweet talk a girl, i always use a dung beetle reference

so sweet it makes me want me mommy

Ra! Ra! Ra!

Bound together in prose.

Dung beetles are sacred?

Aww they’re all wrapped up all over each other

Great scene! That’s a wrap!

Choose your words carefully so you don’t scarab beauty away.

Nothing like the mention of dung to melt a girl’s heart and loosen her wrappings.
