Deep Throat is Dead?
I turn on the television this morning. No coffee in my system yet so I’m a bit groggy, but the first thing I hear is …”Deep Throat is Dead.”
Huh? Wha?
Linda Lovelace, the most famous porn star from the 70s? Didn’t she die back in 2002 in a car accident? I slept through the rain last night, but have I somehow woke up back in time? Where am I? Who am I?
I check the calendar and it still says 2008. So, I pour a cup of coffee and sit down to learn that the news is talking about someone named Mark Felt. He was 95 and was the secret agent who uncovered the whole Nixon scandal in the 70s.
His code name was Deep Throat.
Oh.
1972 was a busy year for history. Couldn’t he have chosen something else for a code name besides the name of the most popular porno from that century?
So I began to think…what would an agent’s name be today?
The Crocodile Humper?
The Loin King?
The Wadfather?
Throbbin’ Hood?
Sorest Rump?
Charlie’s Anal?
Good-bye Deep Throat!
