***** Out of sight *****
At a Long Island house party, a chap invited an attractive girl to go fishing with him on the Sound. After an hour without any luck, he asked, "Do you think
we ought to try chumming?"
His companion, a novice at fishing, looked toward the house on the distant shore, then replied, "We might as well. They can't see us from there."

Reminds me of the co-ed on a date whose new EngLit beau asked, "Do you like Kipling?"

She giggled & replied, "I don't know--I've never kippled."

For me the giggle seals it. . . Time for him to invent a new game called kipling! If he doesn't, his tuition was a waste of money -- he's too stupid to make it in the real world!

I'd go with: It's a combination of kissing & just the tip..ling. . . Shall we head over to my place to try it out? (hey,this is one of the 5 most told lies by men: "I'll only put the tip in, I promise.")

Getting real "chummy"?

Like the guy who had a boat docked near the campus & loved to take girls out for a weekend on the water, for the ambiance & of course, for romance (maybe a little chumming?)

He started with a brunette. . .about halfway out, he was trying to decide which way they should turn to travel along the coast, & asked her, "Up or down?"

She said up, as it looked nice that way, & they sailed the day away, with him vainly trying to upgrade their relationship level to "did it."

Next time he took a redhead, who answered down(southerly) & they had a nice day, without the upgrade he was looking for.

Then he took a blonde out, asked her the question & she stripped herself, then hm, then they spent the rest of the day doing every kind of sexual act imaginable(including chumming)

Afterwards, on the way back to port, he asked her what got her in the mood so well. (so he'd know for others -- he was still tantalized by the redhead.)

She answered, "Well, duh, you took me out too far to swim back, then told me, 'F*** or drown.'"

Not just blonde but a little hard of hearing, too. :D

Right in my wheelhouse!

Especially with the last couple gals turned off by my dirty talk.

A blond was sitting at a bar wondering... ...why she only has three sisters but her brother has four

not all blondes are women:

Guy used to be in the army. Real good looking guy too. Blond hair, tall, blue eyes. But now tends to sick animals, helping to diagnose and treat them so they can get better.
He's a veteran Aryan.

But tradition beckons. . .

A blonde goes into a church and asks the minister, "How much does it cost to rent a church singing group?"He said,"Do you mean a choir?" She said "Fine... How much does it cost to acquire a church singing group?"

***** Kid's logic *****
A Stanford University professor took his young son with him on a trip across the country. One day after their return, a package was delivered with postage due. Neither the professor nor his wife had the necessary
$3, but their son produced it. Surprised, his mother asked how he came
to have that much money. "Well," he said, "Dad was awfully careless
with money on our trip and nearly always left some on the table when we ate. So I just picked it up." --D. Elton Trueblood

George,

I tried that game, Seven Minutes in Heaven, where two people go into a dark closet for 7 minutes; it ended up being 6 minutes of screeching
from her, & a black eye for me. . .

The only reason I came out of the closet, is because it was dark in
there. <G>
