The Mistake

I heard him curse, I heard him groan [loaf]

I heard him on the telephone [Kansas Sam]

I called to him, "Your cell phone's on!" [Hagfish]

"And I don't want to drink alone" [mcb]

But then I heard a muffled shriek [Hagfish]

I thought my heart would spring a leak [mcb]

I yelled to him, "Sue--you OK?!" [Kansas Sam]

"Sue isn't here. He's gone away!" [Hagfish]

"Who, then, who? Pat or Terry?" [Kansas Sam]

"They went to the apothecary." [Hagfish]

"Randy, Dale, or maybe Merle?" [Kansas Sam]

And which of them is boy or girl? [mcb]

"Look, I can't think--ask Gale or Jan" [Kansas Sam]

"You idiot, this is she man!" [Hagfishwife]

"Hermaphrodites all get free phones?" [Kevin Andrew Murphy]

"Will someone pass the pheromones?" [Sharon]
