"A hundert times" in four years?
« on: April 29, 2006, 06:42:31 am »
As if it was the sort of things I think of when I get up on Saturday mornings... ::)

Ennis says in the short story that he "wrang it out a hundert times" thinking of Jack (understandably enough!), and that's over four years.
If we look at this in a mathematically practical way, that's once every fortnight on average. Which is still a lot, considering that all he had time for was making a living, that he had a wife around the house, which could make the opportunities for Ennis's favourite activity more random, and he also banged said wife from time to time. And there were the small kids to look after too.

But I have a feeling 100 times might just be an understatement... ;D

Well,  I think the hundred part is just an expression, but I will admit,  I sure have thought about past BF's on occassion while 'wranging it out"   LOL.

*evil smirk*

I think you might be right - maybe more like a hundred times a year!  Take away the couple of weeks a year he spent with Jack, that makes twice a week.

David: shouldn't that be "wringing it out? Just checking my vocab! ;D

And Chris: that was a hundred times during the four years they did NOT see each other! Man, go read the story again ! ;)

yeah, I agree, 100 times in four year was probably quite an underestimation.
