Friction Field

The wind, on this blue night,
is howling like a banshee,
sad voices carried on it.
It's the kind of night
when all your sorrows
come back to haunt you.
The electricity in the air
is a palpable thing,
an element so strong
your skin prickles
with the unrelenting
friction of those atoms.

I feel you especially.
Your presence swirls
in those atoms,
rubbing relentlessly
across my skin,
across my soul.
I won’t sleep tonight,
not as long as that wind persists.
I’ll lie in bed like a prisoner in a cell.
And carried by that wind,
your electrical arms embrace me.

While walking down the street one day, a senator was hit by a truck and killed. His soul arrived in Heaven and was met by St. Peter at the entrance.
"Welcome to Heaven," said Saint Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there’s a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts so we're not sure what to do with you."
"No problem, just let me in," said the senator.
“Well, I'd like to,” replied Saint Peter, “but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in Hell and one in Heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."

"There's no need! I want to be in Heaven," said the senator.

A butcher went to a barber for a haircut. When it was time to pay, the barber said, “I’m feeling generous today, you don’t need to pay for this one.”
The next morning someone knocked on the barber’s door. When he opened it, it was the butcher, with some sausages and a couple of nice steaks. He said:”This is a thank you for the free haircut yesterday.”
A few weeks later, a baker got a haircut from the same barber, who again told him it was on the house. The next morning the baker gifts the barber with three fresh loaves of bread and an apple pie.

A rabbi, a Hindu priest, and a politician went on a hike
Night fell and they were exhausted. The hotel on the map was nowhere to be seen.

They knocked on the door of a farm and asked if they could spend the night.
The farmer said, “Of course, but I only have a small room with two beds. One of you will have to sleep in the barn.”

The Hindu priest said, “I need no material comforts. I will gladly take the barn.”
The rabbi and the politician were settling in when they heard a knock on the door. They opened it to find the Hindu priest standing there.

“So sorry, my friends, but there is a cow in the barn, and I cannot sleep beside such a holy animal.”

An Italian guy was checking out women in Rome. While at his favorite bar, he managed to attract a good-looking blonde. They went back to his place and went at it. After a long while, he climaxed. Then he rolled over, lit a cigarette and asked her, “So… you finish?”
After a short pause, she replied, “No.”
Surprised, he put out his cigarette, rolled back on top of her, and started again, this time lasting even longer than the first. Again he rolled over, lit a cigarette and asked, “So, you finish?” Again she said no.
Surprised but still acting reflexively on his macho pride, he once again put out the cigarette and entertained his companion du jour. This time, with all the strength he can muster up, he barely managed to finish, but he did, after expending quite a lot of time and energy.

A bus stopped and 2 Italian men got on. They sat down and engaged in an animated conversation.
The woman sitting next to them ignored them at first, but her attention was galvanized when she heard one of them say the following:
"Emma come first. Den I come. Den two asses come together. I come once-a-more. Two asses, they come together again. I
come again and pee twice. Then I come one lasta time.”
"You foul-mouthed, sex-obsessed swine," the woman said indignantly.
“In this country we don't speak aloud in public places about our sex lives.”

A Jewish man, a Frenchman and an Italian were bragging about their sex lives.

The Jewish man said, “Last week, my wife and I had great sex. I rubbed her body all over with schmaltz, we made passionate love, and she screamed for five full minutes at the end!”
The Frenchman boasted, “Last week when my wife and I had sex, I rubbed her body all over with butter. We then made passionate love and she screamed for 10 minutes!”
The Italian man said, “Well, last week my wife & I also had sex. I rubbed her body all over with olive oil. We made love & she screamed for over 6 hours!”
The other two were stunned.
The Frenchman asked, “What could you have possibly done to make your wife scream for 6 hours?”
