Recursion and the Russian Reversal

People Are STILL Having Sex e5s1

People are sill having sex because people were still having sex. Repeat.

The production of sex-having sentient beings is not the main or only goal of being a sex-having sentient being. Sex is pretty ok without an end goal other than mutually agreed upon having of said sex.

People are still having sex because people were still having sex and would like to engage in having sex again. People are still having sex because they hear tell of people still having sex and they are curious.

This state leaps to an association with subject-object transposition jokes.

Yakov Smirnov: “In America, you always find the party. In Russia, party always finds you.”

It turns out Smirnov was Russian. We always assumed he was an unfair impersonator.

Cole Porter: “In Soviet Russia, you don’t tip bellboy. Bellboy tips you.”

Russian Reversals remain popular on the Internet due to ease of use, and perhaps Putin.

No good absurdist puns about Trump on the Internet. Here is a prototype:

“IN TRUMP’S AMERICA, GREAT MAKES YOU!!!”

(in Trump’s America words are all caps and phrases end in three exclamation marks)

“IN TRUMP’S AMERICA, SEX HAS YOU!!!”

People are still having sex in Trump’s America. We are not upside down just yet.

Pens and papers, words, musics. Chicago-based long lost Texan. Opinions my own.
