 After dinner conversations can take the most unexpected
turns. I mean, who goes to dinner with prepared conversation? How does the
whole process start and why does it delve into such dark corners of peoples
private lives and why are these so much more illuminating when copious
quantities of alcohol are consumed? What am I talking about?I have found that after dinner conversations tend to be more of a stream of consciousness viewed through Terry Gilliam's eyes than anything else. For those not familiar with Terry, he was the director of such bizarre phenomenon as Fisher King, Time Bandits, Munchausen and numerous Python cartoons. Anyway, streams of consciousness, I ended up talking about Chinese horoscopes as applied to western population versus traditional western horoscopes having started the conversation on the merits of using melons in diets. How does one get from A to F? Throw into the equation the dissolution of one marriage on grounds of non- consummation, the addictive qualities of tattooing, the habitual low IQ of roof-tilers (watch for the flames on that one!), the lack of objective reasoning power in teenagers, Harley Davidson motorcycles, infidelity, the merits of a good book versus mediocre sex, San Diego, shopping in New York, the cumbersome nature of Fuchsias, the growth rate of the eucalyptus tree, the symptoms of the black death, cholera and the merits of Rolling Rock as the best beer on earth (have I mentioned this before?) and what you have is a normal dinner conversation. Try working that into a planned lecture! The dinner Hostess responds  Well
I had to respond, something to do with not being able
to resist- a female problem or just me?
I do genuinely feel that perhaps a touch of MALE MENOPAUSE has struck you. I can live with the Men, Melons and Monkeys BUT I do draw the line at the 'mediocre' sex. At no time were either of the men present given to believe that their performances justified such a high rating. Is it dillusions, dementia or just a decadent dirty mind??!!
