His mouth stood agape as he ogled the bountiful blonde beach beauties.
His wife elbowed him in the ribs and said under her breath, “Don’t be crude.”
He quickly snapped his mouth shut.

The Matticus Kingdom 
If you were my hubs, you would be eating through a straw for a while,cos I’d break your jaw. (see, I rhymed)
If this were me, you’d never hear from me again… the queen would bury me deep.
I guess that sort of thing never bothered me. In fact, I’m usually the one to point out the hot babes to Mr. Weebles so he can ogle at them.
Sometimes beauty is so above and beyond that it demands ogling? Does that then mean that standing with one’s mouth agape is not “crude?”
Well, maybe not standing with one’s mouth agape, that might be a little crude, yeah… But a quick peek or two, that’s not so bad.
Makes sense to me. 😛
Funny little post! Nicely done.
Thanks! 😀
I hope he did not drool too! That would be quite disastrous! Ya, I agree with Enchanted Seashells and the queen.
Drool! Oh, I definitely should have added that bit too! Mouth agape, drool dangling, dripping, down, ….
short and funny 🙂
Glad you liked it!
Apparently, my grandfather (who died before I was born) was known to say, “Just because you are on a diet, doesn’t mean you can’t look at the menu!” He and my grandmother were married for over forty years. :). All I know is that I love my wife too much to ever overtly stare at some babe while in her presence. But, the beauty of a woman is never something that disappears completely from any man’s radar. I may admire the beauty of a string of beauties but, in the end, I never waver from my conviction that my wife is always the loveliest of them all. 🙂
Makes perfect sense to me… though we might have to disagree on one item…. The Queen here in the Kingdom is definitely the loveliest of them all. 😉 Hmm, now where did a put that mirror? I’m pretty sure it can sort this out for us…
Haha! Good one. It’s about time he learn it’s more polite to ogle with one’s mouth closed 😀
Yes, exactly!
This I can relate to. Fortunately I’m single at the moment so I can surreptitiously ogle all I want 😉
Happy ogling. 😀
Some nice ogling there!
Hah! 😀
Yay for alliteration! (It’s my favorite…). I thought this was pretty funny, especially because she gives him a warning jab instead of just hauling off and clocking him one 😉
While I suppose that happily married couple can go about clocking each other… a “friendly” warning jab seemed more inline with the couples i know in the real world.
Ha, well I didn’t mean a shot to the dome. I would just be more likely to punch my guy in the arm and skip the jab. I Googled it to make sure that ‘clocking’ someone just means to hit them, no specificity on the location…
OoO! I, of course, assumed that it refered to a good old fashioned head beat down. Well, if that isn’t the case, then, yes… clocking him would have fit perfectly!
This is funny. And the comments are fun to read as well. I suppose there is a polite way to ogle, behind sunglasses, for instance, and definitely with the mouth closed. 🙂
Yes, the secretive ogle, hidden behind sunglasses, thrown askance when no one is looking, from the periphery – those are all far less “crude” than ogling with one’s mouth agape…
Not that I’ve done any research on any of that or anything. 😛
I love the wife’s response (: Nice and quick!
Thank you!
Yep, open-mouthed ogling definitely qualifies as crude–so with the wife on this one!
Interestingly enough… the queen hasn’t commented on this post, so I’m not sure what the actually wife’s opinion on this bit of fiction is… my guess? she would have clocked him.
