Fellow Traveler


Marriage isn't about tradition.
It isn't about kids or sex or
money or loneliness or power.
Marriage is about companionship.
It's about someone to share the journey with.

The Shaolin Finger Jab

There’s nothing like dubbed Ninja movies, where flying black spots unsheathe their swords and slash away. “You won’t have an easy death,” the Nun shrieks. “Speak for yourself, Lady,” three Ninjas in unison chant. Their somersaults in air echo the flapping wings of buzzards -- winds caught in invisible flags for warring tribal nations.

At a naughty pajama party, behind net curtains, Abbot White, in his cardinal cap, leers, “This little technique won’t kill you,” and laughs brazenly at the tied-up female courtesan, sneering “Trust me!” Betrayed, the last daughter of the good monk, bitches, “You dirty old man!” as her blouse is ripped from her chest, then her skirt is sheared off, “Kill me now!”

If only the twin muscle boys could remember which finger to use, and where exactly to jab the evil villain. Revenge is not complete until the violated female slave flings herself forward, to nail that white demon, ramming both fingers down his open mouth, then in his unprotected ribs.
