Gutterballs: A Heartfelt Apology


By Biff Lowenstein


We know this is exactly the same concept we used in the Star Wars piece. It's late, and we're drunk.Allow me to introduce myself. Remember that guy who was walking behind you as you left the bowling alley? You know, the one who you must have thought wanted to race you, cause you took off like there was some nasty freak chasing you? That was me. I just wanted to write to apologize. For a few things actually…

First, I was not trying to scare you. You simply intrigued me and I wanted to find out a little more about you. Please let me explain that I am not from this country; I’m Australian. In my country, what I said to you is a standard expression of interest in a person of the opposite sex. I had no idea that you might get offended when I said to you, "Hello, Chickie. I couldn’t help but admire your snatch from across the room. It is rather pungent, after all." We should simply chalk that up to a cultural misunderstanding. I am not a pervert.

A few moments later, when you happened to look back at me, you caught me in a rather odd moment, I must admit. I had gotten two hand cramps (from the bowling balls) and was attempting to work them out. Apparently, this might have seemed as though I were suggesting that I wished to grope your round, firm, buxom breasts. While I’m sure the drool running freely from the corner of my mouth may have added to that interpretation of my intention, that is my usual reaction to pain. Allow me to once again state that I am not a pervert.


Let me say that I hope to see you again soon. In fact, I have purchased a pair of high-powered binoculars to assist in this endeavor.


The next time I caught your attention was, perhaps, the most embarrassing yet. You see, one of my mates had taken it upon himself to play a bit of a boner…I mean, prank, on me. While I was busy polishing my balls (They had gotten a bit scuffed from scraping on the floor and repeatedly striking the pins), he poured a pouch of talcum down the front of my trousers. I have a bit of a strange allergy to talc, which explains my reaction. You see, I was not attempting to be crude by dropping my trousers and shorts; I was merely trying to clear the talc. Most of it had, unfortunately, collected on the shaft of my penis, so I was trying to wipe it off. My severe allergic reaction is what caused my erection and the spontaneous outburst of, "Christ! When that red-haired temptress bends over, I just need to shoot my load!". It is a bit"No one wears a stupid hat and gets hit by lightning on MY beat, pally!" like Tourette's Syndrome, you see. I’d like to take this opportunity to once again profess my non-perversion.

I’d also like to say that the police you called were rather nice folks. They were kind enough to give me a copy of the arrest report, which listed your name and address. That is how I am writing to you now.

In closing, let me say that I hope to see you again soon. In fact, I have purchased a pair of high-powered binoculars to assist in this endeavor.
