Talk about a door jam

April 1, 2014 5:54 AM

Help! I went for a meal at a friend's house. At first everything seemed so sweet, but now I'm stuck in this uncomfortable situation, half in, half out; friends no help at all. Wondering if any Mefites have lube suggestions?

Oh bother... You may have to wait this one out.

If your friends alone can't help, perhaps they could call their relations?

I don't have any suggestions but I do have some good grease. I'll be right over.

It all comes of not having front doors big enough. I'm afraid hahliachewswell is right: you might have to wait this out. Have a friend read you A Sustaining Book in the meantime.

If you really can't bear it, maybe try (sorry to be indelicate) poohing to decrease your intestinal bloating enough to get you through the gap. Good luck, honey!

Do you have any friends who might be able to blast it all away? You might have to ask around for his number. After all, he's not in the book, you know.

You could prevent this from happening again by getting into a regular exercise routine. It does wonders for stoutness.

Oh wow, was that your ass-as-mantle-decor I saw featured on DesignSponge yesterday?

Remember that a bear, however hard he tries, grows tubby without exercise.
But even though you might be far from slim, you should feel proud of being short and stout.

Christ on a cracker, y'all. Does every thread that mentions weight have to turn into Hurf Durf Butter Eater? Maybe we can drop all the LOLfatties crap and answer the OP's question!

OP, do you have any glycerine or latex allergies? Which lubes have you tried before?

I don't know about lubes, but there's a product called "the Rabbit" which you (or your friend) may be interested in. You can get it stuck in a very comfortable position if you choose.

You never can tell, with bees.
