“Carry to America everything
you can,” I read in the newspaper Hard Sign. So what I could carry, I did.
I carried my dick to America. And in America, they act surprised: well,
dick all! How did you manage to get it
here?--they admire it, they weep from joy.
And
what’s really so special here? I
covered it and slung it over my shoulder. True, I had to give a bribe to
customs--they thought I was carrying a kielbasa. The Americans say: “Here we have all kinds of dicks: white, red,
black, yellow, but your kind--we don’t have!”
“Well,
where would you get a dick such as mine?” I say. I have a Siberian dick, a
natural one. Of course, for intimate use, I have a simple
dicklette, single-channelled, but this one here I keep for aesthetics, I’ve
been raising him for 33 years already.
You see, a need became felt--I decided to sell the babymaker. I grew and grew him, at night didn’t
fill him up, didn’t feed him enough, babied him, and now I see--I can’t support
him, and I took him to be kept someplace.
I brought him to the Tretyakov Gallery, and they go: “We have,” they
say, “nowhere to keep our own exhibits.”
I brought him to the Pushkin Museum: “All our storerooms are
flooded. So, if he’s alive, you should
take him to the zoo, and put him in the rare animals section.”
“Well,
to hell with you!” I think. “Maybe you’ll even direct me to the Society
of Nature Testers or to Durov’s corner?”
Anyway,
I brought him to America and that was no mistake. Here they really support those of us with Dicks. People were right--it’s a great country.
