THE STORY SO FAR
Alice, my wife had an affair with Eric. He then left his wife.
Less than 2 months later Eric returned to his wife. I was now going to get payback sex with Eric's wife, who is called Mary. The arrangement was that I would fuck Mary 8 times because that was thd number of times Eric had fucked my wife before Mary started divorce proceedings.
Eric had taken my suitcases in his car while I went to buy some posh pyjamas, because Mary wanted me to wear PJs when we slept together.
I was to follow in my car.
THE STORY CONTINUES
I didn't own any pyjamas and so I needed to buy 2 pairs.
I am impatient. I once left a trolley full of my shopping rather than wait in a queue.
By English law clothing stores are not allowed to open before 10 a.m. on a Sunday. I didn't want to wait around an hour in my house for the Department store to open. The weather was already pleasant and so I decided to walk to the store.
As I walked I thought randomly on matters historical, psychological, sociological, cultural and philosophical. None of these thoughts were particularly likely to earn me a Nobel Prize, but they made waiting less boring.
CAN YOU BE IN LOVE AND NOT ON LOVE?
Many people are aware of Schrödinger's Cat, which suggests a cat can be alive and dead at the same time. I linked this with 10 CC's song "I'm Not In Love".
It seemed to me that you could be in love and not in love at the same time.
Before Mary told me that my wife had been screwing around, I loved Alice. As Mary told me I was in love with Alice, but I hated her.
It took me an hour before I made the decision not to be in love with my wife.
I called my theory "Schrödinger's Pussy"
CHURCH BUILDINGS
I passed by St Ambrose church. A decade ago it used to be open for anyone to go in. Popular rumour suggests that feral youths, who valued their thrills more than the enjoyment of others, set it alight. Some of the congregation wept openly. I was angry at this wanton destruction.
There was £500,000 worth of damage. Many suggested the church should be demolished. Luckily it wasn't. The church building enhances the area. The insurers demanded that the church is closed except for services and other activities.
THE DECORATED PEWS
Luckily 8 of the decorated pews were salvageable. Each one is an intricate work of carved art. I gave £60 to help restore one of them. I felt good saving this part of Bournemouth's cultural heritage. Perhaps only 100 people a year will see "my" pew but it is there.
LESBIAN PORN
I wondered why most men like lesbian porn.
Men like to see women from different angles. Lesbian porn lets us see 2 or more women at the same time. Suppose we see 3 lesbians we can see the tits of one, the bum of another and the cunt of a third woman.
I call my theory The Lesbian Graces
OLD PEOPLE HAVING AFFAIRS
As I waited for the department store to open, I saw a well dressed, elderly couple. They were in their 70s and he needed a walking stick. They were in love. I had hoped that Alice and I would have grown old together and we would have been like them.
However I also wondered if she had affairs which he didn't know about. Maybe she still had a lover. Maybe he had regularly visited a prostitute and she never knew.
Without verbalising I began singing "Do You Love Me?" which is one of the songs from Fiddler On The Roof. The duet which ends "Then you do love me. It doesn't change a thing but after 25 years its nice to know."
ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSES
I wondered if there is another planet in another universe in another galaxy where people don't fall in love or have sex and live for 1,000 years.
I thought that would be neater than our world. But then I thought that living 1,000 years might be very boring. What would I need to do to while away the thousands of hours.
I concluded that a life, even one which is nasty, brutish and short would be better than a long one without love.
