Food & Sex (1986)

It's Saturday afternoon. I am some person living at some college trying to think of something to do with myself. This is odd because I spend the majority of my time trying to figure how to get dona all that I have to do. Next week is Thanksgiving. I will be going home and trying to get money from members of my family. That is a college student's favorite past time: money grubbing.

And once he has the money it is squandered on odd unnecessary things like alcohol or movies or expensive fast food. Then he goes back for more. He finds it easy to believe that some sort of satisfaction may come from going out and spending this money. Again and again, he is proven wrong but that never stops him. It is a perverted cycle of the human mind.

I was talking to Dan today about orgasms.

"You figure half the people in the world," I said, "they think only about getting food because they don't just have it given to them the way you and I do. The other half, the people who already have food, they spend most of their time thinking about orgasms. And everything they do is in some way at least indireclty related to that pursuit."

"Yeah." Dan had toothpaste dripping from his chin. "That's about the size of it."
