So here we are again with this months collection of quotes weird and wonderful!

VESPERS
Hush! Hush. Whisper who dares!
Little boy sits at the foot of the stairs.
Blood on his fingers
And fur on the mat:
Christopher Robin’s castrated the cat!

In his tight blue jeans on his lonely beat.
Hush! Hush!
I’m rather afraid
Christopher Robin is looking for trade.

‘My testicle was so big, you could play it like a bongo’.

Wellness uses terms that sound like a dog whistle for the patriarchy. Pure. Clean. Natural. This could easily be advertising for America’s next virgin bride, not a pathway to health.
[Dr Jennifer Gunter]

If we’re not supposed to have midnight snacks, why is there a light in the fridge?
[Stephen Rodda]

If people can’t face up to the fact of other people being naked … then we’re never going to get anywhere.
[John Lennon]

“I’ve often been asked, ‘What do you old folks do now that you’re retired?’ Well … I’m fortunate to have a chemical engineering background and one of the things I enjoy most is converting beer, wine and vodka into urine. I do it every day and I really enjoy it.”
