Clam Hand
January 1st, 2008
When you go on a trip away from home there are several things you want to take with you. The science of what you bring and what you leave behind can only be determined by the traveler. Sometimes you just need to have that particular pair of pants, or your favorite shoes, or a gift for your friend who you have not seen in a while. Myself I am bringing a dildo, a really big dildo.

God knows this can’t possibly be a good idea. And for damn sure it is not in good taste, but it has the potential for a good joke. A really good joke, if for no one else but myself. So here is my rationale.
1. This joke is multi-tiered. Part one is with me and imigration. Here comes this stupid looking Yank with a great big piece of silicone that I am sure the Queen never approve of. It has the potential to be the most uncomfortable situation possible. Certainly one that is not explainable or believable.
2. This joke, if still alive after going through customs, still has life. Here is a stranger showing up to work with something that the queen would frown upon. This has a huge potential of flopping epicly. Nonetheless, I was told “Beanie is into toys”. That is just vague enough that it could mean anything.
3. When my friend, who has been oh so kind as to help set this whole exchange up for me, comes home, I have a really thoughtful gift waiting for him. By the time he gets back from Chile this hand can have it’s nails polished, a tattoo, maybe a glove and a wrist watch. This love object is a blank canvas that can have it’s own story to tell when it gets into the hands of it’s rightful owner. A joke in progress is a beautiful thing……..maybe.
