Pinnochio had been getting complaints from his
girlfriend. “Every time we make love,” she said, “I get splinters.”
So
Pinocchio went back to his maker, Gipetto the carpenter, for
advice.
“Sandpaper,” said the carpenter. “That’s what you need.” So
Pinocchio took some sheets of sandpaper and went home. A few weeks
later the
carpenter bumped into Pinocchio again. “How are you
getting on with the
girls now?” he asked. “Who needs girls?” said
Pinocchio.
