I listened to this silly clip in which Bill Maher–like only he can do tried to make me think way too much about something that I really don’t need or want to think too hard about. I think that he was complaining about ice cream cones being inside of a paper wrapper. His point was that the ice cream was in a cone already, the cone already being the wrapper. Apparently this makes the paper wrapper unnecessary and therefore it is nothing but superfluous litter. He then compared this additional “wrapper” to lingerie stating that this additional layer “just slowed him down.”

Bill, Bill, Bill. First of all I think you must have wayyyy too much time on your hands, bro. Sometimes it’s not all about you—and maybe– just maybe–some of us like having a wrapper around our drumsticks. In the case of lingerie, (hey you brought it up–) maybe it’s about how the woman feels wearing it. Not all of us just want to come bounding buck-naked out of the bathroom to just bounce ourselves onto the bed raring to go. Lingerie might slow our guy down a bit…but is this a bad thing? In this day and age of so much chaos and the “I’m too tired for sex” syndrome…maybe taking a little extra time to get in the mood is a good thing. The extra attention to one another, enjoying the moment, the breathing, and yes—the taking off the wrapper, slowly and deliberately—might just be the best part. Certainly it does enhance the sweetness of the whole experience. Ice cream or something else entirely, Bill you might want to rethink your opinion on this one.
