Who Wrote This Cialis Ad, Ingmar Bergman? (from blog.myspace.com/deeplip)

Current mood: having an ad-induced panic attack

Romance and Relationships

Something funny happened on the way to the bedroom. The doorbell rang, and surprise! - there were the kids and the grandkids, dropping by unexpectedly just as that pharmaceutical grade hard-on was beginning to kick in. But now they are gone and you're alone again - just the two of you.

Now that the time is right, what do you do? You do what any horny couple would do. You leave the house, get in your car and take a long drive along a twisting, treacherous road to the sea coast.

When you finally arrive, you buy something to eat from a food-stand. The beach appears to be deserted. There's just the two of you and the hot dog vendor. The sky is overcast. It's chilly enough to wear windbreakers.

"Long walks on the beach" are cliche. Sitting in side-by-side bathtubs isn't an option, so you hold hands and slowly, hesitantly begin to make your way across the jagged, slippery, barnacle-encrusted, kelp-festooned boulders exposed at low tide.

Storm clouds scud across the darkening sky. You start to fall, but regain your balance, windbreakers flapping in the breeze. Your progress is slow and laborious. What if one of you breaks a hip?

But wait! Off to the left, a dildo-shaped lighthouse looms huge and reassuring. All is well. A pulsating red light throbs from its bulbous, glans-like tip. Its smooth, cylindrical shaft sends a powerful message:

The time is right. The time is right. The time is right. The time is right.
