Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bug them up. Hold on tight, we got it for you.
Here it is this show Mary. Let us thank you.
Nephew all right, subject a piece of man or note
man at all. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am a divorced
fifty nine year old woman and I started dating a
sixty seven year old sexy gentleman in December. Our relationship
(00:22):
is great. We had lots of fun together and he
keeps me smiling. I followed Uncle Steve's rules for dating
and almost made it to ninety days. But on that
eighty seventh day we decided it was time to get busy.
He told me he couldn't take it any longer and
he had to have me. I was more than ready
(00:43):
willing and able for our big night together. So there
I was lying across the bed, smelling good, lying across
his bed, smelling good in a soft pink neglige when
he walked in. He came in and sat at the
foot of the bed and started getting undressed. Stephen Shirley,
you are not going to believe this. This man took
(01:07):
off his pants and then he took off one of
his legs. I inched over toward the middle of the
bed as if I was in the room with a monster.
Then he slid up to the top of the bed
by me, and he took his top row of teeth
(01:28):
out and slid them in the top drawer of the nightstand.
He leaned over to kiss me, and I had to
stop him and be totally honest with him. I told
him that is no big deal that he wears dnchers,
but he should have told me he had a fake leg.
(01:49):
You don't just spring that on a woman. He told
me that he understood how I felt, and he put
his leg back on. I got dressed and he walked
me out to my car. Since that night, I have
been trying to act normal, like everything is okay, but
I am still in shock. He is the sweetest man
I've ever dated, and I'm trying to keep an open mind,
(02:12):
but I can't imagine having sex with him at all now.
So what do you think? Is it better to have
a piece of a man instead of no man at all?
I need your advice. Wow, I think this is a
first of this kind of letter, and you're right, this
is quite shocking, quite shocking. But I blame him for
(02:32):
not telling you. I just do he had a whole
eighty seven days, eighty seven days to tell you, and
at sixty seven, he should know that he can't keep
something like that a secret. Come on, a leg and
a whole set of teeth. You said on the second
line that he's a sexy sixty seven year old gentleman
or a sixty seven year old sexy gentleman. That's not sexy.
(02:54):
That is not sexy, and you're getting ready to have sex,
And I mean, do you forget what went through his
mind to do to take off his leg and to
take out his teeth. Come on, man, I mean, I
just think you're dead wrong for this. He was. You
needed to be prepared, You needed to be warned about this,
(03:15):
and you guys had almost three months to get to
know each other better and to talk about this. I mean,
he knows he's dead wrong for this. So you ask
the question, is it better to have a piece of
a man instead of no man at all? I tell you,
don't settle if this is not what you want. You say,
he's the sweetest man of all, but you can't imagine
having sex with him at all now, So I mean,
what's the relationship without, you know, a good, healthy sex life.
(03:38):
So if you can't imagine that ever with him. Because
of that, then I guess you know the answer to
your question is no, Steve. Well, now I have a
different approach. Thank you. Come on, Come on, dear Stephen Sherlo.
I'm divorced fifty nine, you're a woman, I'm dead, and
(03:59):
you're six seven year old, real sexy man and December
relationship was great. Keep your smiling. You try to follow
ninety day rule. But on day eighty seven we decided
it was tying. That's only three days. I ain't mad
it right. He told me he couldn't take it any longer.
I understand he had to have me. I was molding ready.
(04:24):
The big night came. You laying there across the bed,
smelling good, pink linger lingerie, negligee. He walked in, sat
on the foot of the bed, started getting undressed. You
still laying now, smelling good, girl. You know what I'm saying.
(04:48):
Then y'all try to say, Stephen Shelley, you ain't gonna
be leave this. This man took off his path and
then he took off one of his legs. I over
in the middle of the bed if I was in
the room with him. Then he slid up on the
top bed by me and took his top, rowing teethout,
slid him in the top, drawing the nightstand. He loaned
(05:09):
over to kiss me, and I had to stop and
be told honest. I told it was no big deal
that heywhere dishes? But should have told me about the
fake land. Let's stop right here, let's stop this damn letter.
Stop here, let's stop this damn letter. What do you
mean that he should have told you he had a
(05:33):
fake leg? What do you mean? What do you what
does she mean? Who got one? And you don't know it?
You ain't never seen the wind blow when he had
his pants home? A point, evidently not. You ain't never
(05:56):
seen the wind blow when he got his pants home.
Wonder why wanted the lead were real skinny? You ain't
see that. You didn't see what his shoe was sitting there?
What is that in his shoe? No, no, no, no,
let's stop all this stening. What was that in his
(06:19):
shoe when he crossed his leg? You ain't know that?
It was just something just you ain't see that? Why
socks fit different on this leg than the other legs?
He didn't tell you he had a fake leg? Who
(06:40):
you know got one and you don't know it. This
ain't his fault. He assumed you saw it. No, he asue,
I'm telling you, man. He probably said, I know she
hadn't seen me the way I walked. I know, I
know he thought that. Now they're sitting on the edge
of the he getting nugga. Now he got taking leg off.
(07:03):
They ain't bother you that he can put that whole
row damn teeth in the draw. That ain't bothering you.
That's a bad us ass. Let her right here everything.
You take your damn teeth out your head and put
it in the draw right and free fitting the kiss.
That's the first thing we did. Damn the leg Hey, No,
all right, Steve, come on, let's recap this strawberry letter.
(07:24):
A piece of man or no man at all. I'm
getting to the piece of man or no man at
all later on. But I got news to you, sy,
So you can't blame this dude for this hell She
man because she's been dating this man and wanted to
follow ninety day rude. Well they couldn't. They got to
eighty seven. He said he had to have her. She
get on the neglig She laying across the bed, she's
smelling good. He come in, he's sitting on the foot
of bed. He started undressing, He take his pants off?
(07:46):
Didn't he take a leg off? He should have told her?
How to hell? She ain't no, Sherley, this is not
her fault. She's as much to blame as he is.
He should I got a fake. Ain't nobody had to
tell you that? Huh? When has somebody had to tell
(08:06):
you they got one? I don't get that. I ain't
ain't nobody walking up to me, and I ain't knew
it right off? How surely you're gonna blame this man?
The man just living his life told her what are
the ninety days for? What are the ninety days for
to get to know each other? To talk about things?
She didn't look at it? You know, he should have
(08:32):
told her? You know it? What is that in his shoe?
I wear intentions and I have no no what is that?
If his shoe? Why would he walk that shoe? Dot being?
Somebody answered? Why that shoe look brand new? And why?
(09:00):
You can't tell me, Shirley, that this woman shouldn't have
noticed it. You can't tell me he shouldn't have told her? Ok,
Shirley I just said that it ain't all his fault.
Didn't notice him. Then this man scoops up in the
bed and pulls a whole road and shut him in
(09:20):
a drawer. Now, she says in the letter, it's no
big deal that he wear dinches, but he shouldn't have
told me he had to fake that. What what I mean?
She got him too, But you know, just spring that
on the woman. Spring, that's a bad choice. Spring. I
(09:49):
promise you he ain't spring this. He told me, and
you told him, just spring that. He told me that
he understood how I felt, and he put it leg
back on. I got dressed and he walked me out
to the car. Hold up, now you're tripping about the
leg anyway. Since that night, I've been trying to act normal,
(10:13):
like everything's okay, but I'm still in shock. He is
the sweetest man I've ever dated, and I'm trying to
keep old man. But I can't imagine having sectoring him
at all. Now, So what do you think? Is it
better to have a piece of a man instead of
no man at all? First of all, I want you
to stop calling this man a piece of a man.
That's the first thing I want you to do, because
(10:34):
him having a leg has nothing to do with him
being a man. I'm not you know, yeah, not having
a leg ain't got nothing to do with him do
with a man. Do you know how many men don't
have arms or leg or something, but they every bitter
man as anybody else. So that I would really like
for you to stop calling him a piece of a man,
(10:55):
because you don't know how he lost that leg. A
lot of Tommy got a whole foundation, wounded warriors, men
and women who go over here and sacrifice, they come back.
We can't call these people pieces of nothing, yea. So now,
first of all, stop calling him a piece of a man,
because this is all man. Everything else working fine. I'd
(11:19):
be more shocked by the damn teeth. What take the
teeth off and put them in no draw? And then
I put my tongue in your mouth, and all of
sitting I'm trying to now I'm all up in the
roof of your mouth and everything the same thing, tongue
and gum. I'm feeling ridges and stuff. I gotta taste
polodin all on my tongue and everything you got polydin
(11:45):
on your gum. Just slid them out without brushing your teeth.
Go ahead, brush your damn teeth. Kissing you and I'm
tasting polydin. Yeah, damn gum glue. He might be cold
without that leg. Ain't no telling. I'm telling you that boy,
come to work because when you ain't got that other leg,
I have both of them, but I've had like a
(12:07):
child horse in one of them, and so I had
to let it later like it wasn't working. And but
that put more pressure on one side. And you come
in from different angles, girl, you might be missing some
all right, Hello, let's let's let's let's flip this. What
if she only had one leg? You can't do this exactly? Well, see,
(12:28):
because we got different I have requests. Here are certain
things I'm gonna say. It's hard to be it ain't
it was hard to be a woman and do that.
You never got no, you ain't never got no dress
on you, meaning you would know this is what you're saying.
(12:48):
And me, and why why have you shaved the heel
down on that shoe? She is? You know? Way you
go fool me? I already know something going on. I
still love you. Oh yeah, you're still fine, But I said,
(13:10):
but I see that though we gotta ansk a couple
of questions, right, and if she didn't happen, now, why
you got one of your shoes as a Christian Luberton
and the other one is a rock port? I need
I need to know what's happening that rock port holding
it together? Baby, I'm trying to figure out. I was
(13:32):
trying to figure out why you got stocking on one
leg and ain't one on the other. Okay, I need
to know what's happening. I need you to tell me
what's happening. Why is this you open to? And this
one right here's a bowling you. I need somebody talking
to him. I need somebody out right behind you that

the building to do Part three of the Strawberry Letter.
The subject was a piece of a man or no
man at all. A woman who's fifty nine wrote in
and started dating a sixty seven year old sexy gentleman
in December. She tried to do like Steve's book said
and wait the entire ninety months ninety days, but she
(15:33):
got to eighty seven days, and she said it was on.
Neither of them could wait any longer. So she got
all sexy with it and was lying across the bed
and her pink lingerie and everything, and she said he
came in, sat on the bed, proceeded to get undressed,
took his pants off, took his leg off, and then
(15:53):
took his top row of teeth off and put them
in the nightstand in the top drawer. He didn't tell
her anything. She was devastated. He ended up walking her
to her card. She said she didn't know if she
could ever have sex with him again, so what should
she doon? Death Jammer here we were here today, special opportunity.
(16:24):
That's right, that's right, myself and my beloved deacon introduced myself,
Deacon deaf jam right here on your side. Pass and
who am I? You are? Reverend mo town hit makele
(16:45):
of The of the of the wonders kind were discussing
the results of the reading from the Book of Strawberry
down chapter twenty three. What verse was that? Two? One?
(17:06):
I ran all of them in one? An the one
it started the beginning, I ain't in the Book of
Strawberry chapter one, where it says he proceeded to take
off his slacks and then took his leg off. Stop
(17:30):
ain't The athas expound that was a made sixty seven
years old. Come on now, sexy five swab come out
and we waited just like the book said almost ninety
(17:53):
days eight is seveny big exactly. Well, you know be
in the bed next, ain't I know? I cross the bed,
I got baby all on my booty, shine and in
the nightlight coming out the bathroom, come on. He sat
(18:13):
on the edge of the bed, took kids shut off. Yeah,
a muscular back. But I found out why dude took
the pants off, put them pants off. I was sitting
there waiting, anticipating of the loving that was coming my way,
(18:37):
and then I noticed out the corner of my eye
some something card that night light, a law saw shining
still rod. Then I noticed that the shoe was still
attached to the rod. That no, here too, the leg off.
(19:02):
He took an old leg on then try to slide
him next to me in the bed. I tried to run.
I was scared as hell. I ain't never been with
a man and had one leg before. But now let
me tell you why we hit a day? Deacon, tell
him why we hit to day? The subject is that
subject is? I thought he was gonna help me out,
(19:32):
but I gave up that subject and after I left
it in my notes, the subject one legging loving didn't
take the chance. My sister, you wrote and talking about
he was a piece of a man. I told the congregation,
ain't no such thing as a piece of a man
(19:52):
just because he's had an injury on some kind. They
moment and most and I'll tell you what you missed
out one leg loving. There's some good loving. If you
ain't ever had it, you ever tried. Sometimes you don't
know what was headed your way. I tell you one
thing about one leging loving talk to the chances of
(20:14):
getting the child at horse is reduced. You better understand
where I'm coming from. And you ain't got to wear
about the fitted sheet coming up on both ends. He
ain't got but one leg. He can't tell one card,
come on dash so many things. Then when he gets
(20:35):
to driving the message home, you ain't gotta wear about
getting knocks all over the top of your head. You
ain't gonna get knocks with on one side because it
ain't got a one leg. He can't push off. But
from one side come out. This is where you get
to experienced things you ain't ever experienced before. He can
act like one leg is hanging off the edge, but
(21:01):
you can get something happening to you. He can put
if he got his left leg missing, he can put
his left hip, hop against the head board and come
off from that. Ain't gole because ain't nothing over that
stopping him. Here's another one. Come. If you do it
the other style, you know what they call it? Rue said,
(21:28):
if you get in that other style route, you ain't
got to worry about having to be on both of
your knees. All you need to do it ain't one
leg off the edge of the bed. You don't know
what you're missing with one leg and love it. The
man be bringing in the ways you ain't never had
it before. Now passed it? Uhhuh? Can't he do the hokipki?
(21:51):
What is that? So? What is that you put your
one league in? You put one leg out't get all about?
Well what it is? Is it? You put the one leg,
you gotta leave the other one out? Call the other leg?
Is that to foot in the bay? We gotta go.
