Hey Gerry, that's a word for that. It's called "bi" - Page 4

As most of you know, I've waaaaay moved on the Kinsey scale. And I still find myself moving once in a while.

I'm late to this interesting discussion, but I think if Buter were to have made those remarks, I would admire him for it ... but also grok SM's point about prevarication.

Interesting, allowing yourself to be labeled as "bisexual" identifies you as part of the gay community to the non-gay community, but almost always labels you very unfavorably and often hostily to the gay community.

That's not the only reason to stay away from that particular label ... but it's one possible reason to avoid it.

I still don't get the point of that joke.

It's one of the things I hated about being in that space. I didn't belong anywhere and I wanted to.

I think it's either a sex-toy joke or the slicing of the sausage refers to a different... piece of equipment. It's not a very good joke, I don't think.

Maybe it's a clean joke and I just have a dirty mind.

I literally typed out the explanation and then deleted it. Explanation kills comedy (even weak comedy such as this.) Is it truly so hard to grok?
