BILLY DIES ON THE JOB!

His brother owned a tiny supermarket in Yarraville. Business boomed as new customers came in to study him. But he was a man with a dilemma; he didn’t know whether to laugh or look serious. So he did both, depending on how each customer took it, because the customer is always right.
And that’s business. Man lives to shag, that’s all. Libido’s the boss.

Putting on a condom, if part of your normal sexual routine over a few years, is not a challenge at all.

It’s a pity a lot of men find it such a challenging task when awake.

“No sooner, it seems, does psychological science identify a new disorder than the legal profession turns it into an implausible defence implying diminished criminal responsibility. If the early [1970s] was the era of [Pre-Menstrual Tension] then it seems in the [1980s] you can claim you’re a sufferer of [Battered Woman Syndrome] if you’re up on a [murder] charge.”

I’m with Kim of course. These new fangled conditions have been manufactured by so-called psychological science experts who have been corrupted by the financial rewards offered by defence lawyers.

Women who claim to be battered are in fact hysterical neurotics who have unresolved issues with their fathers. So called Pre-Menstrual Tension is a neurotic rejection of the womb accompanied by a death wish fulfilment fantasy.

My one thought was that if Mr Kate was a sufferer I’d have to insist on separate beds because I really don’t like having MY own sleep interrupted.

These people ARE NOT LIKE YOU WHEN YOU ARE ASLEEP.

It’s a disorder.

So I won’t.

Mark, it’s ok to admit falling asleep during sex, but I’d leave out the bit about being 20 at the time.

WHile following the link the the Canadian news site you gave I clicked on a link about sealing and was confronted with this regional oddity: “Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams”. Just sharing, as you were.

I understand your scepticism – I would be the same if I didn’t have first hand knowledge.

Provided of course they stayed awake during the expert witnesses’ explainations. Or perhaps not.

I certainly sleepwalked through my one spell of jury duty. It was the third most boring experience of my life.

No word has yet been invented to describe the tedium that settles on a poorly ventilated Melbourne Court in high summer as the Crown Prosecuter shuffles his papers and glares at a VicPol tech who can’t get the tape recorder working – while the defence lawyer rewrites his resume, the Jury plays ‘Hangman’ and ‘Noughts and Crosses’ amongst themselves, the Judge does the Age crossword and the defendant tries to signal to his family what he wants on thr daily shopping list.

Yes Justice is blind. You can tell so by the unhurried fumbling around.

Now I’m gonna go put on Station To Station while frantically reading up on the commercial and ethical impacts of streamlining multisite clinical trails so I don’t sleepwalk through a 9am meeting tomorrow.

It would certainly be a challenge to a jury to sort that out.

That it my view creates at least the potential for rape.

The court heard Jan Luedecke and the woman met at a party in July 2003. Both had been drinking and the woman fell asleep on a couch. She woke up to find him having sex with her and pushed him off.

Luedecke testified he only suspected he had been having sex when he went to the bathroom and discovered he was wearing a condom. He confessed to police.

Now perhaps someone could explain how people who wake with a condom on their penis put it on through automatism?

Forgive me for being just a tad sceptical.

“So apparently even some women have a potential to rape in their sleep.”

“Attack of The Succubi!” Can’t believe no one’s pitched that one to Dario Argento or Tinto Brass yet.
