On Double-Jointed Tongues

Whenever anything happened regularly at a previous job, my boss would roll his eyes. He'd look at me and, in a thick Long Island accent, he'd mutter, "Man bites dog." And that's the expression that popped into my head as Marissa and I watched the Today show's self-proclaimed cassanova hit on iVillage sex expert Tracey Cox outside the green room of NBC studio 1A.

Natalie Morales had interviewed her and Ian Kerner about sex myths, and while Tracey offered up her usual great tips, there was no shortage on shock value. Natalie stopped by the green room for a quick nibble before her next segment, and I whispered, "Double-jointed tongue, huh..." She laughed. "I know! I was like, Ohhhh boy, moving on! There's never a dull moment when Tracey's here."

Tell me about it: Tracey had already told us that the cassanova had given her a less-than-subtle once-over. So it wasn't surprising when he followed her into the hallway like a puppy. He launched into a description of the How to Get Laid in NYC manifesto—yes, he really called it a "manifesto"—that had led to that morning's appearance. (Does that really work as a pick-up line?) It took him a few minutes to notice that Marissa and I were standing there, as well, but we were too amused at our Bob Saget sighting to notice.

Polite, but aloof, Tracey told him she couldn't stay to hang out with him. We girls were off to get coffee. He waited a beat for an invitation so I looked to Tracey for a cue, and I got one: "Shall we?"

Cassanova hits on sex expert. Man bites dog.

I wondered when I saw that she was on whether he'd hit on her or not, too, and no, I'm not the least bit surprised that he did, OR that Tracey responded as she did. Bet that threw him for a loop, being God's gift to women and all... *eyeroll* LOL.

I read it. The whole darn thing and all I have to say is that there is nothing funnier than a "How To Get a Woman Into Bed" that doesn't involve an interview with one single women. Take a girl to a lounge, don't open up about who you are, light the obvious candle and you're in? Not with my readers.
