Comedy moment

Good morning!

Nobody reads this blog except A2, but I wanted to post this here because I nearly burst a lung laughing about it and if I don't put it here, it will be lost forever in the mists of time.

So, I have an ancient Flickr account.  I long ago stopped putting photos on there but there's a large collection still there and occasionally I get notifications when someone likes one of my photos or adds it to a group.

Yesterday, I got a notification that somebody had added this photo to their Favourites:

It's a picture of two identical pairs of my slippers - I'd bought one to replace the other and was so shocked at what a filthy state I'd let them get into that I'd posted the pic on Flickr.  This was back in 2004 when I really didn't have a lot on, I hasten to add :-)

Anyway - I saw this notification and thought nothing of it, but then I noticed that previously someone different had added the same picture to their Favourites.  And actually, so had someone else before that.... how weird.  Immediately suspicious, I clicked on the first one's profile and, as I suspected:  ALL their favourites were pictures of dirty slippers.  And some of them were being worn, by ladies in various states of undress...  Eeeewww.....

Then I noticed a comment on my slipper picture.  It said, "You should sell these on Ebay for $$$$".

Urgh!  I hastily deleted my photo and all of the comments.

Then I started wondering whether people really would Ebay their filthy slippers.  Surely not?  I mean, it's one thing knowing there are sexual deviants out there, it's completely another to be knowingly SERVICING THEIR NEEDS.  Surely Ebay have rules against that?

I found this.... a fine line between vile and hilarious.

I called Carlos to have a good shriek with laughter.  Obviously eBay do have some guidelines... hahaha!   Then I picked up my skanky slipper and started chasing Carlos around screeching, "SNIFF MY SLIPPER" before eventually giving it a tentative sniff myself.

With tears rolling down my cheeks, choking, I managed to mutter, "They smell of DOG!"
Can you imagine?  Surely that's two fetishes for the price of one?!

Needless to say, my slippers will not be going anywhere except the bin.  But it was worth it for the laughs!
