The Sex Fiends (Live)
The Sex Fiends
"I go to this rehabilitation center with my sister," he said
"And the sex fiends all sit together. They're all guys five feet tall or under. And this one guy, they call him the Rabbit, well the Rabbit’s problem is that he propositions every woman he sees. He just walks up and asks them to go to bed with him."
"I think that's very honest." I said, "Some very greasy characters use the roundabout approach."
"Maybe so," he said, "but it's still gotten the Rabbit into trouble."
"In fact," he said, "the Rabbit saw a woman at the center and he walked up to her and said, ’Will you go to bed with me?' and the woman said no and the Rabbit said, 'I'll give you a dollar!'. Then, all the sex fiends went into this room to masturbate, and the Rabbit was working away when the therapist walked in and he tried to rape her."
"Yeah yeah, what happened?"
"Oh, she just pushed him off and walked out."
"By the way, I ask, what were you doing there?"
"Oh," he said, "I'm a sex fiend. I go every Thursday morning at 8 a.m. Do you want to come with me next week?"
"I ought to," I said, "but I like to sleep late in the mornings."
