Hahahaha That image made me laugh my ass off. I once denied a horned up girl sex because she didn't get my fucking jokes. My exact words were, "Its called satire you fucking retard." Funny thing is that we ended up hooking up for 2 years and I regret every day I had to wake up to her smiling face. But I learned from my experience, I would rather fuck a crippled midget with a bad dental plan for 2 years who gets my jokes than fuck a skinny tall blonde who askes, "Whose Joyce?" right after I make a comment on alcoholism.

Ayn Rand's philosophy and prose are the least sexually appealing things on the planet.

>something more sexy than Ayn Rand and all her works

Anyway, here's a recording of me reading some of Kafka's Metamorphosis. I didn't pick this passage for any reason in particular. I just flipped around and read the first part I thought sounded funny.

I have barely read anything aloud since high school and my laptop's mic is pretty shitty, so there are my excuses.
