I used cornstarch. <\/p>\n<p>In the first year after my divorce from the Ice Princess, I was working for a small company downtown Chicago, and it was miserable in the summer. <\/p>\n<p>Dad had died two years before, and I was living wiht mom. I would come how from work, beat like a rented mule, and strip down to my shorts, lay in the backyard on the picnic table and nap. <\/p>\n<p>You learned to sleep in that position in the steel mills- you lay on a bench, and put one arm and one leg up on the table.<\/p>\n<p>My dog, Lady, a beagle\/terrier mix, and Dad&#8217;s dog Pebbles, would lay on the ground under the picnic table and we&#8217;d nap togehter. <\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, though.. <\/p>\n<p>The cornstarch I used to keep my freakishly large scrotum from chafing would often ball up and form little wads of&#8230; well, cornstarch dough. And the virulent yeast infections I often had from watery bints laying about in ponds&#8230;.. well, the dough would actualy rise.<\/p>\n<p>This in itself was disgusting enough, but&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Occasionally, stripped down to my boxers, one of the dogs would nuzzle up my shorts leg and start licking away at this&#8230;. crotch bread, for lack of a better word. <\/p>\n<p>So once or twice a month, that summer, I&#8217;d wake up, laying on the picnic table, boxers splayed, nutsack hanging out, dog licking it&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>Just not a pretty sight, people. <\/p>\n<p>This IS why you come here, right? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And the livin is&#8230; greasy.
