News, but not the serious kind

You call for some professional whippers?

Afternoon, Mr. Johnson, we’re the whippers you called for. You know, from Acme Whipping and Lawn Care.

You probably saw our ad in the Yellow Pages: “Acme, we can whip anybody!”

Dressed funny? Heck no, this is normal whipper attire for summertime. We do most of our work outdoors. Matter of fact, these are spanking-new duds we bought at the Milan Fashion Show, over there in Italy.

Zorro? Nah, that’s just Floyd in that black mask. He’s got some warrants out on him and it’s easier if he just hides his face.

So, whatcha got that needs whippin’, Mr. Johnson? Some adulterers? Horse thieves? Liberals?

Oh, I know what you’re wonderin’ about, Mr. Johnson. This long string dangling out of my shorts. It’s just my little joke. Go ahead, pull it. See what happens!

Yeah, when I was that age I did some things I’m not proud of either. Mind you, some of them did get me laid… YES, by women!

You know it wasn’t a Berlin fashion show or ‘Spartacus’s’ toes would be covered in white socks and sandals.

I’ll see your 6′ whip and raise you my .9mm long-slide.

Think these pics are disturbing? Just wait for the kissing scene.

This particular blog took a very wrong turn somewhere.
It’s like deja vu all over again.

I just hope I don’t see anyone wearing this crap walking down the street…
