Bill worked in a pickle factory. He had been employed there
for a number of years when he came home one day to confess
to his wife that he had a terrible compulsion.
He had an
urge to stick his penis into the pickle slicer.
His wife
suggested that he should see a sex therapist to talk about
it, but Bill indicated that he'd be too embarrassed.
He
vowed to overcome the compulsion on his own. One day a few
weeks later, Bill came home absolutely ashen.
His wife
could see at once that something was seriously wrong.
"What's wrong, Bill?" she asked. "Do you remember that I
told you how I had this tremendous urge to put my penis
into the pickle slicer?"
"Oh, Bill, you didn't." "Yes, I
did." "My God, Bill, what happened?" "I got fired."
"No,
Bill. I mean, what happened with the pickle slicer?"
"Oh...she got fired too."
