>WHAT JOYCE'S FARTY LETTERS CAN TEACH US ABOUT SOCIETY

They made love, they were rebellious and despite nearing their fifties they were young at heart. Lambasted by public critics as a decadent pair subservient to pleasure, the Joyce family would soon shake the world with a litany of naughty penmanship. Their sex was filthy and carnivorous but they were sweet to each other. Beckett would call their flirtations pretty-pretty and teaming with childish innocence. But this would convince those outside of Academia. Beaten near a synagogue by a band of roaming Jewish bards, James was tempted to script a masterwork of agonizing quackery. Their love life would be in shambles due to his staunch commitment to an awful book on limericks and puns.

However all was not lost. They would live voraciously through their letters, filled with disdainful expletives and improper segments, often devolving into the absurd. Letter 47th in particular is an oddity among oddities. In this letter Joyce describes the musculature of a black male stallion, often peppering his speech with the word "horsecock". Most of these letters would were burned by their unnamed Arabic son who they shipped off to Sudan in secret in order to topple the Insurgency that had taken hold of the country.

Lettres pour un papillon

Flopping, flaccid cocks. Butterfly thought of flopping flaccid cocks. Short and hideous and deformed, the sort that belong to bodies with fat round guts and receding hairlines. A floppy flaccid cock with wrinkles to match her greasy wrinkled forehead.

What would she do if she had one at her disposal? Perhaps wipe her face with the sweaty shaft, or whirl it around like a helicopter's blades. She imagined that a man might tuck his sausage behind his balls and piss on his ass. She wondered if someplace, at some time in history, a man ever pissed up a vagina. That would be cool.

Surely even a disfigured dick was better to own than an ugly cavern. She despised her own cracked yeasty hole, which required much maintenance but couldn't be spun around like a nunchuck. She remarked to herself that the penis is so powerful that God ordered the Israelites to mutilate it in surrender.

Without the thought ever arising into her mind she knew that she loved cocks, the more cruelly misshapen the better for her spiteful and jealous fetish. She dreamed of Larry King's tube steak and Harvey Weinstein's skin flute. Alas, no man, not even the half-animal negro or the obese sexhound trucker would have anything to do with her floppy tits and insufferable nature.

Fortunately, she had her dog to make do.

It's so badly worded.

Why are you racist if you're apathetic that someone else thinks that an Asian person can be good at maths? Is it every Asian person, or just an Asian person that's actually good at maths? Why is it racist if you ask an Asian co-worker if they know that other Asian guy whose great at maths? Are they in the same office or school? It's not an offensive question if so, and just a stupid one otherwise.

It feels like the kind of test people would just virtue signal on and play it safe when really interactions like these are incredibly common.
