    Truth is I just need to get my dick sucked. You busy tonight, Diane?

  4. I had a copyediting professor in grad school make that same claim. I’ve been an editor for over 20 years, and most of my colleagues over the years have shared my Beavis & Butt-head-esque sense of humor (“heh heh, you said . . .”). So, I guess I’ll choose to believe that it’s true.
