"The Truth of Well-Known Sayings" by Bronwen (bronwen@anon.nymserver.com). At first glance this story seems somber: the husband has just found out that his brother is dying in middle age. The wife comforts the husband and verifies the truth of the adage, "A good fuck is the best response to bad news." I don't know who first said that - I doubt that it's in the Bible or in Ben Franklin; but I've often found it to be true, especially if the good fuck is with someone you really love.

I doubt that this story will lead you to a mind-blowing orgasm. As the well- know saying goes, "Sorry about that."
