Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

The narrator recounts the tale of a friend who tried to hide the carrot and Vaseline he was buying to masturbate with among other purchases, including eggs and sugar: "Like he's going home to stick a carrot cake up his butt."
  • Squick: It really deserves its own page.
  • Tear Jerker: In a really weird way, "Exodus".
  • What an Idiot!: The Matchmaker ends up dying after he gets someone to chop off his dick, despite knowing that in his story, the general dies right after accidentally doing the same to himself.
