Thumbs down Little Frankie learns the big nasty

Little Frankie wanted to know about sex so he went to his grandfather.

"Grampa, what's sex?"

"Well, Little Frankie, what do you want to know in particular?"

Little Frankie thought and thought, and he asked his first question:

"Grandpa, what's oral sex?"

"Well, it's when you talk dirty"

Little Frankie awed and oohed. Now he could tell his friends.

"Grandpa, what determines how many babies you have?"

"Well, it's how big your balls are."

Little Frankie checked his undies. Hmmm, not to many babies yet, huh?

"Grandpa, how many holes do girls have down there?"

"Hmmmm, Last time I counted three"

Little Frankie was perplexed. Three? Jimminy Cricket! That is a lot!

Little Frankie felt a lot better. The complicated world of sex was waiting for him, and armed with this golden ticket, he was ready for it.

Horrible. Atrocious.

Shitty dialogue. Kids don't talk like that.

You should be banned.

I don't know if I would be as harsh as Truth-Teller. (He might just be extremely sarcastic. It's hard to tell this late at night.) I must say that it felt almost like it was the beginning to a joke and I was waiting for the punchline. I found the grandfather to be funny with both his slight ignorance, " I think that's when you talk dirty", and his blunt answers.

I mean I like it but I don't really see the point.

garbage. maybe it has potential if you develop it into a joke, but then again it would be a profane joke.

Well, it is garbage, and it's not meant to be a joke. People who like this humor will laugh, people who take it more seriously will spit at it. This is simply a couple of things I used to learn from friends when I was little. Yes, there is no point, but that is the point. Profane things are just meant for humor, not a life lesson. Loosen up lol.

I think it could be made more interesting if you were to develop the characters a tad more . Make the grandfather sound like a senile old fart, and the kid sound more like.. well, a kid .

I didn't think it was all that funny. But it's a great title. Can the lame joke and write a novel or frat movie with that title and look out.

"Three????" I don't get it.

It's dry humor for people who enjoy the quick, dry humor. It makes you smile, there lies the point, you literary twats. "Develop the character, give it a punch line, shitty diaalogue." Yeah, right. This is fine just as it is.

You think this is dry humor? Do you think Squirt is a dry martini?
