How long have you been having sex with the octopus?
David asks.
“Hmmmm?”
“The octopus sex. How long has it been going on?”
“Cupping. It was cupping. There was no octopus involved.”
“Are you sure? Evidence suggests otherwise.”
“It was cupping.”
“Cupping…?”
“Suction cupping. At the massage appointment.”
“She put suction cups on you.” He is appalled by this explanation.
“May I remind you of Exhibit A my friend?” I point enthusiastically at my back “EXHIBIT A.“
“This was done by suction cups?” David looks horrified. “No.”
“No?”
“No. We are going to say that you had sex with an octopus.”
“Because why?”
“Because when you say suction cupping all I can think of is the Man in Black screaming in agony in the Pit of Despair.”
“Fair enough. So is it better to say sex with an octopus or sex with a giant squid?”
“OCTOPUS!! OH MY GOD – OF COURSE OCTOPUS!!! GIANT SQUIDS ARE POSSIBLY THE MOST TERRIFYING ANIMAL IN THE UNIVERSE!!“
“Sex with an octopus it is then.”
