Primates and Punishment
This was the funny story that I was going to post a month ago until other circumstances got in the way.
Other than having met her at church when we first moved out to PA, I had not had the chance to spend any length of time with this particular individual until a certain event in the recent past. We got to know each other and realized that we share some of the same interests. After she told me this story, I laughed so hard that I cried and warned that it may show up in my blog. She agreed on the condition that she remain anonymous. I am complying with her request and, as such, she will be known as Fuschia.
Fuschia said that she had checked email one morning to find that someone had forwarded her a link to a particular Flash animation. Being the fun-loving sort, she clicked on the link. There, she found a little game. The rules were simple : you had to see how fast and how hard you could, ummm, apply corporal punishment to the primate.
(I refuse to publish the exact slang terminology. I don’t want traffic from the sort of people that would be searching for that verbiage. Furthermore, if you don’t know what I’m talking about, be thankful.)
None the wiser, Fuschia thought it was a funny little game. After playing for a while, she forwarded the link onto her siblings - neither is a Christian. She also passed it on to several other people she knew. It didn’t take long for one of her siblings to get back to her. While they were all for fun and games, they were a little mystified that Fuschia was more twisted than they had thought.
“What do you mean, ‘twisted’?”
They went on to explain exactly what it meant. Fuschia was mortified and apologized.
She was very thankful that she hadn’t gotten around to sending it to some of her friends at church.
