RE: Showcase Sunday: Three Shorts In One and All For Your Entertainment
Goddamn mosquitos! Those little bastards always know where to hide when I turn on the lights, I once stayed awake 5 hours trying to kill one, it was an all night fight that only ended when the sun rose and the mosquito disappeared, until this day I know not where the little bastard was hiding.
BTW, did you know that the mosquito that bites us is actually the female mosquito? The male mosquito feeds on plants
I did know that. That's why the mosquito in the story was a she. That's the only way it can work.
Ohhh nice, most people don't know that, I thought you used "she" just so the text would work, guess not...
That story is meant to lead people down a path that could potentially trigger them, because nobody likes violence against women. Once those feelings settle in, the end joke catches them completely off guard. It's a tough skill to master when writing humor.
