Show Ail 1 ALL DUNN by Roy Dunn HOWDY FOLKS First off, some of you folks might take offense at what I'm about to say. Now don't go off half-cocked half-cocked and call me on the phone to bawl me out. Its not you and I that I'm talking about. IT'S THOSE OTHER FOLKS. I found out the other day that it ain't proper English to say "them folks," so I gotta say "WE". So, if the shoe don't fit you, don't try to put it on, 'cause when I say "WE," I mean "THEM." Boy, have we got sex before us, twenty-four hours a day, all the time. It's splattered across the covers of magazines, news- papers and books. It's before us on the TV and movie screens. It's taught in the schools and in some churches. Clothes, or the lack of them, are designed toward this end. One would think that we have just discovered sex, that we never really knew it existed before. Shucks, I reckon that sex has been around for a long, long time. Fact is, I reckon it's been with us ever since Mother Eve coaxed that simple-minded Adam to take a chunk outta that apple with his front teeth. And right away they looked at each other aghast and run off in the bushes to hide, for they were ashamed of their nakedness. naked-ness. Ever since then, we have been ashamed of our nakedness, naked-ness, except maybe for a privileged priv-ileged one, or few. But in recent re-cent years we have gradually gotten over the silly notion that we should keep our der-riere der-riere covered. We have got to the point now that hardly anything any-thing surprises us, and maybe we got more sense than to take unnecessary chances, for a sun-burned posterior would be hard to sit on. I reckon it'd hurt. You can see folks, right down town, wandering around on the sidewalks, who ain't got enough clothes on to flag a bread wagon. A'course that don't bother me none, 'ceptj maybe once in awhile I walk into a lamp post. It ain't be-couse be-couse of what I was looking at. I run into lamp posts because be-cause of what I AIN'T looking look-ing at. Which is the lamp post. An accident, pure and simple, so don't go thinking something which ain't so. All this permissiveness in the movies might have started ten or fifteen years ago with a picture pic-ture titled, THE MOON IS BLUE. The heroine said a line in this play that made the audience aud-ience gasp. It was a very short line, but it must have started something, for now, what she said is old stuff and considered cornv. course. I'm sure we don't need all this brain-washing. They had problems 'way back in the Pilgrim days around Plymouth Rock. Now-a-days there is such a thing as something some-thing called a 'shotgun wedding. wed-ding. But in those days the bride was said to be wearing a 'high apron' at this sort of a wedding. Could be that this all started with a custom they had in which the swain and the maiden maid-en went to bed and covered with a blanket, to have their visit out. This was called 'Bundling," and was necessary in real cold New England winters win-ters because the wind sure would whistle through the cracks of the log houses where the chinking had fallen out. So they had to do something to keep warm, so they 'Bundled.' Of course there was a board which was stood on .edge between be-tween them. But in spite of those boards, or maybe because of them, there was many 'high apron' weddings. And these people are called the Puritans, which is alright. For if this thing happened hap-pened occasionally, it made them no worse nor any better than the people of today. They were just people, and people tend to do what comes naturally. natur-ally. And now there's THE PILL. And this movie, "Prudence and the Pill." By golly, that's the beaten'st movie you will ever see. I tell you' folks, you'll go out of that movie, thinking you don't feel up to par and maybe you should make an appointment appoint-ment with your pediatrician, first thing in the morning. It don't make any difference if you are male or female, you'll feel this way. Why in the heck can't they just let thinks come naturally. All this sorta leaves a bad taste in your mouth, but I guess it's what the people want. So be it! SEE YA'ALL LATER. Now there are movies currently cur-rently showing across the nation na-tion with titles such as "Rose- 1 marys Baby" and "Women Without Men," and "Guide for ; Married Men," and "The Lustful Lust-ful Turk," and "Skin' and Cold ' Cash," and "Games with Dames," and "The Odd Couple" and on and on and on. Of course these are for adults only for they are not intended : for tender eyes and ears. But this only whets the curiosity of the young'uns and most of the show houses will accept their dollars. Anyway, some of ' the barred ones might just be 1 able to show the matured ones : a thing or two. Or three. And the books, and TV and magazines and Dr. Kinsey's report. re-port. What the heck is goin' : on? Don't they think we know a darned thing? People learned learn-ed a long time ago that it's pretty easy to get more kids than can be supported in the manner they should be supported sup-ported in order to give them a fair start in life. And these same kids will grow up, if they're lucky enough to survive whatever ridiculous ri-diculous war that might be in progress at the time. And somewhere along the line they will learn all about sex, for this is one of the most natural things in the whole plan of nature. In fact there was a song written several years ago, which Doris Day sang in a musical. The locale was hillbilly hill-billy and the title of the song was, "Doing What Comes Naturally." Nat-urally." Every body agreed that this was good, wholesome entertainment, en-tertainment, which indeed it was. And that's the crux of the matter. Just leave people alone and nature will take its |
