Odd conversation

Written by

So I’m pretty friendly with the folks at the local bagel shop, but lately the old guy in the back (every place has an old guy in the back) has gotten friendlier, too. So here’s an actual conversation from today:

Him: “Hi, sweetheart!”
Me: “Hi! How are you? You look worn out today!”
Him: “I am! I was up late abusing myself.”
Me: “Uh… heh heh. Well, sometimes…”
Him: “Too much red wine, staying up too late…”
Me: “Well, you have to live a litt..”
Him: “Sometimes, you know, you just gotta let the badger loose!”
Me: (nervous laugh) “See ya!”

Okay, so was it just my smutty mind that linked “abusing myself” and “let the badger loose” in a masturbatory way? Because if that’s what he meant, it’s TMI! And if it’s NOT what he meant, what the hell is the badger? What the heck is old bagel guy getting drunk and doing late at night?

    I have no idea, because I’m thinking the same thing you were.

    I think it’s time to find a new bagel shop.

    Upon a deep, detailed search of the Internet (okay, it took five minutes), I have discovered that the phrase ‘let the badger loose’ is actually slang referring to farts.

    Or, at least it was when Biggles was still flying around. These days, I’m still placing my bets on dolphin-flogging.

    So wrong. So very wrong.

    I would have thought the exact same thing. And probably run away just as fast, giggling on the way out. 😉

    I think I’d be getting bagels elsewhere from now on as well.

    I don’t wanna think about how they make the holes..
