All Comments on 'The Set Up'

Nice little "O.Henry" twist at the end. Amusing tale; I liked it.

Who the heck is Roberta??

Or should I say O Helen. Harvey's wife was Helen until the end when she turned into Roberta. Otherwise, I thought it was really very good.

Liked it, even with the Roberta sw(gl)itch.

The twist at the end was wonderful! As a senior citizen I can relate to the characters in this story.

OK you got me that time - particularly that it went both ways - heh

= Helen? What a coincidence that all four snuck around through the dinner conversation!

...and everybody ends up happy.

This author has a number of stories involving impotence. An impotent man can have the blood engorging tissue in his penis replaced with two plastic tubes, a pump in his scrotum, and a fluid reservoir behind his pubic bone. He would pump the fluid into his penis until his hardness feels tight. Then the nerves under his penis' outer skin could be stimulated vaginally, orally, or by hand until ejaculation. And the bonus is he doesn't have to press the release valve in his scrotum until he wants to. But falling asleep with a full erection until morning might be painful! Also the penis can be partially filled for show if he wants to appear big. Perhaps the author can introduce this concept of fixing impotence as an educational lesson for unfortunate men to give them a renewed sex life!

I had the penile implant after prostate cancer. Works well. In 2014, list price was $50,000. Insurance discounted it and I was responsible for only $1,000. Best $1,000 I've ever spent!
