HOW I FILLED THE HOLE IN MY LIFE LEFT BY MY DEAD DOG

Since I killed my dog, there has been a gaping whole in my life. I've tried filling it with masturbation (with and without prostate stimulation), but now I've run out of clean clothes, and I'm feeling strangely numb. I tried reading a good book but that just made me horny again, and I had no dog around to lick away at my genitals while I read. I was seriously considering buying another dog. I mean, what are the chances that my new dog will know something I don't know, like my old dog? Somewhat slim.

I was heading out to my local - no questions asked - pet shop, when I stumbled into a new hobby to take my mind off dogs. Yes, I have discovered the wonders of coughing. You may have heard the adage that a sneeze is like 1/100th of an orgasm... well, I'm no mathematician, but coughing rocks. Ever since I started coughing, I've been unable to stop. You could say I'm addicted. You could say I'm a dick head. You could say what the fuck you like; I don't know who you are, and I don't care. Coughing is, as the French would say in the Pacific, "da bomb".

Might I make a suggestion to improve your pathetic, mundane lives? Try coughing. Start slowly, of course, just a cough or two an hour. Then after a day, make the big leap up to about 10 coughs a minute. If you have phlegm-ridden lungs, so much the better; you can jump to the oft-quoted cough-spit. Coughing has been proven by scientists to cure cancer, AIDS, George W Bush and acne larger than 3 inches. (Admittedly they weren't particularly good scientists, with a somewhat left-wing bias, but they were scientists nonetheless, and unless you can think of a good reason to not cough, you should do it as much as you can).

"I eat my peas with honey. I've done it all my life. It makes them taste quite funny, but it keeps them on the knife."

Now imagine this world famous opus with coughing.

"I cough eat cough my cough peas cough with cough honey cough. I've cough done cough it cough all cough my cough life cough. It cough makes cough them cough taste cough quite cough funny cough, but cough it cough keeps cough them cough on cough the cough knife."

Need I say more?

Yes, apparently. Coughing is the new rock and roll. Nine out of ten cats prefer coughing to being anally raped by Neil Patrick Harris (TV's Doogie Howser). Hitler didn't cough, and now he's dead. What more do you need?

(On a separate note, has anyone read "A Hand In The Bush: A Guide To Vaginal Fisting by Deborah Addington"? Is it good?)
