The Snark Handbook: Sex Edition: Innuendo, Irony, and Ill-Advised Insults on Intimacy
()
About this ebook
I’d like to meet the man who invented sex and see what he’s working on now.”George Carlin
We have reason to believe that man first walked upright to free his hands for masturbation.”Lily Tomlin
Bigamy is having one husband or wife too many. Monogamy is the same.”Oscar Wilde
A couple was lying in bed one evening, when the woman felt her husband begin to touch her in ways he hadn’t in quite some time. His fingers started at her neck, moved down her shoulders, past the side of her breast and so forth. Then he suddenly stopped, rolled over, and became silent. She said, Honey that was wonderful. Why did you stop?” I found the remote,” he mumbled.
With the same Snark Handbook style, this latest entry in the series will titillate, amuse, and entertain.

The Snark Handbook - Lawrence Dorfman
Marriage
What is a marriage if not an opportunity to mock someone through thick and thin while simultaneously exploring your deepest, darkest, sexual desires?
—MARCY RUNKLE, CALIFORNICATION
THEY SAY, HOME IS where the heart is.
Yes, that's mostly true, but home is also, more often, where the hard-on is. No place is as fertile a snark breeding ground as the institution of marriage (and who wants to be in an institution?). Think The Hot Zone minus those HazMat suits. It does, however, promise one thing: another body available for coupling.
It's been the same deal since James Gillray painted the caricature opposite, in 1805. Called Harmony before Matrimony,
it paints a foreboding portrait of marriage. Note the painting on the wall, with Cupid shooting a pair of doves. Or the cats fighting on the floor. There are even more negative elements, cropped in the interest of space. And Gillray followed up with an after
painting. We'll get to that… in 140 pages. In the meantime, let's snark.
Getting married for sex is like buying a 747 for the free peanuts.
—JEFF FOXWORTHY
A husband is what is left of a lover after the nerve has been extracted.
—HELEN ROWLAND
Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't, they'd be married too.
—H. L. MENCKEN
A man in love is incomplete until he is married. Then he is finished.
—ZSA ZSA GABOR
Honeymoon: A short period of doting between dating and debting.
—MIKE BINDER
These days, the honeymoon is rehearsed much more often than the wedding.
—P. J. O'RO URKE
A honeymoon couple goes to a hotel and asks for a suite. Bridal?
asks the desk clerk. No thanks,
replies the bride, I'll just hang on to his shoulders.
Sex drive: a physical craving that begins in adolescence and ends in marriage.
I blame my mother for my poor sex life. All she told me was the man goes on top and the woman underneath.
For years, my husband and I slept in bunk beds.
—JOAN RIVERS
Never get married in the morning, because you never know who you'll meet that night.
—PAUL HORNUNG
I came from a big family. As a matter of fact, I never got to sleep alone until I was married.
—LEWIS GRIZZARD
Sexual Indiscretions Match Box⁶
1. A sportscaster who became the butt of jokes when he was accused of sodomy and other bizarre sexual proclivities by a woman with whom he had a decade-long affair. His longtime girlfriend stood by him, and they recently married. That's what I call true love.
2. This movie star was married eight times to seven husbands. When her third husband died, she married his best friend (who was already married to someone else). They divorced; she married another film star whom she divorced, remarried, and divorced again. Two more to go⁷.
3. A married senator, with a strong antigay platform, allegedly caught in an airport men's room using his foot to tap out sexual preferences to the FBI agent in the next stall. He says he was just picking up a piece of paper⁸.
6 1. C, 2. F, 3. D, 4. B, 5. A, 6. E
7 When you can't sleep, count her husbands.
8 Yeah, a mash note.
4. A complete unknown, she entered into a love tryst at seventeen with a thirty-six-year-old married mechanic and then shot and seriously injured his wife. Also had a sex tape. Still unknown.
5. A strong family-values presidential candidate, he was the subject of a sex tape with his mistress, who was pregnant with his love child at the time. Meanwhile, his wife was dying of cancer. Whaddaya think of those
