A Dog Named Sex

A Dog Named Sex My pooch is not named Rover, Fluffy, Spot or Rex. I wanted something different, so I named my puppy, Sex. To renew my doggie’s license. I went down to City Hall. “I’d like a license for Sex”, I said. He said, “Wouldn’t we all?” “You must not have understood, I need it for my mutt.” “I really don’t care how she looks, if she’s ugly, fine or what.” “But Sir, I must tell you, I’ve had Sex since I was four!” You are no more than a braggart”, and he showed me out the door. Newly married, we brought our pet along for the honeymoon. I told the clerk, “A place for us and for Sex, a special room.” “Every room has a place for sex. Every room has a bed.” “But Sex keeps me up at night.” “It keeps me up, too”, he said. At our divorce the court gave all my possessions to the wife I protested, “Please Your Honor, I had Sex before my married life!” The judge then said that he did, too. “It’s not a real big crime” “But Sir, before we tied the knot, I had Sex all the time” The judge said that I could still have sex, so I took my hound and ran. My wife then said that she’d miss Sex, so I stayed a married man. Last night Sex ran off again as we walked around the block. A cop pulled up and asked me if I knew it was three o’clock. I told him that I was looking for Sex and he took me straight to jail. Now I’m waiting for my trial to come and can’t get out on bail. …if I ever get another dog, I think I’ll name him, “Whoopie” or “Boom-Boom!” Anything but Sex!

Carl, I'm so glad you brought your work, including Sex, into my life. This piece is one of the funniest I've read in a long time. So...is Sex still on the loose?

Sex is gone, but still on my mind. You were asking about my dog, right Jim?
