Bill worked in a pickle factory. He had been employed there for a number of
years when he came home one day and confessed to his wife that he had a terrible
compulsion. He had an urge to stick his penis into the pickle slicer. His wife
suggested that he should see a sex therapist to talk about it, but Bill
indicated that he'd be too embarrassed. He vowed to overcome the compulsion on
his own.
One day a few weeks later, Bill came home absolutely ashen. His wife could
see at once that something was seriously wrong. "What's wrong, Bill?" she
asked.
"Do you remember that I told you how I had this tremendous urge to put my
penis into the pickle slicer?"
"Oh, Bill, you didn't."
"Yes, I did."
"My God, Bill, what
happened?"
"I got fired."
"What happened to the pickle slicer?"
"Oh, she got fired too."
