A shameful curse?
I've always loved tickling but could not even say the word in public since long before I reached puberty. Ninja Turtles??? When I was a youngster I watched Sharon Lynne tickle Stan Laurel 99% to death in an effort to extract "The Deed" that he hid under his shirt. I couldn't breathe just watching it. I swear it lasted five minutes! Get Way Out West, unabridged, and watch it...and enjoy.
It's still one of the greatest tickling scenes in main stream media. Sharon Lynne's evil, evil tickler's smile...I can't tell you how much I wanted any of my aunts or female cousins to torture me that way.
What about women? Any (ANY) ticklish woman is, at least, tied for the most beautiful woman anywhere. If she is a 'ler of a 'lee it's impossible for anyone to be bored if she is in the room.
If my tickle fetish is a curse, Lord, grant me many, many such curses!
P.S. The rest of the Way Out West movie is far better than not bad. Sharon Lynne (Lola) and Rosina Lawrence (Mary Roberts) were lookers of the first order. James Finlayson (Mickey Finn) was at his best as a comedy bad guy.
