Once Upon a Vagina
There once was a lovely vagina. But one in the world had been finer. So delicate, white, pristine and uptight, it's as if the thing were bone china. And a haughty twat 'twas. No place, this, for fingers or fuzz. It lived all alone, never anyone's home. No visits, and…

Bad Buddha
At the Mahayana meditation retreat I want to eat steak and smoke Havanas. I read a book called Rebel Buddha but it isn't rebellious enough. I am a Buddhist the way a Mafioso is Catholic. Instead of rival gangs I kill cockroaches and mosquitoes. I don't care if they're your…
