Trouble in Paradise

Harold and Maude, both age 74, were in Hawaii for their honeymoon. It was a second marriage for each. Both prior divorces were from spousal abandonment, which left carryover insecurities. Each was determined to keep the other satisfied and wanting more.

Maude was an organized planner and Harold was more impulsive.  Maude had been studying the Kama Sutra and doing Kegels twice a day for six months prior to the wedding. Harold brought two bottles of Viagra, which he was trying for the first time.

Harold misread the bottle and took double. Embarrassed, he stepped outside to call the doctor.

      Maybe they will both realize they don’t need magic tricks to stay together.

    Two tablets, good embarrassment. Better than half a tablet or no tablet.

    I laughed out loud at the idea of Maude doing kegels twice a day for six months. What dedication!

    It doesn’t pay to let ‘carryover insecurities’ control your life. I hope Harold and Maude settle down very quickly to a happy retirement. Funny story.

  15. Easy does it, Harold. Anything can be overdone. Poor Maude. And she planned so carefully too. The best-laid plans and all that. Hilarious, Jade. I give her credit if she can get into the poses of the Kama Sutra at age 74. She could tie herself into a stiffened knot at that age. :D — Suzanne
