Yeah, that’s good. Work up a load for me,” Marco said. He reached over and groped my thigh as if he was offering me encouragement. Maybe he was. That physical contact certainly added some umph to my horniness. I realized that he was hungry for cum. Sure, he fed me more than my share last night, but I don’t recall him feeding. I think that made me even more aroused, knowing I was going to feed Marco directly from my cock. Oh shit, I was close from that thought alone. My hand moved faster up and down my shaft and I closed my eyes, moaning in ecstasy. “Oh fuck! I’m close, Marco,” I said, panting and grunting. Marco pulled the car over on the side of the expressway and leaned in close to me. “Yeah, cum for me, boy. You know I’m hungry for it, so make it good.

Anyway, everybody was busy writing serious-minded feminist nosebleed on Mrs. Dole’s “controversial” resignation. The idea was that we should all (harrrumph!) ... examine the assumptions of a society where a (umph! umph!) woman ... would give up her job in the Cabinet of the United States ... to help her (hocchhh!) HUSBAND! What about HER CAREER? What all the earnest anguish ignored was that Bob was much more a part of her career than the next report on the next airliner to blow up in the sky over Pascagoula ... that Elizabeth Dole would no more drop her career than would Bob Dole (or Barbara Bush) ... that she was making a career decision ... and anyone who did not know that being wife to the President of the United States is a better and more powerful job than being Secretary of Transportation was too dumb to work for government—though, alas, not too dumb to write for magazines.
Richard Ben Cramer (What It Takes: The Way to the White House)
I propose,” replied Jack, “that we shall undress ourselves, rub ourselves entirely over with charcoal and grease, so that they shall not recognise us, and dash in and carry the girl off by a coup de main. In which case it will, of course, be neck or nothing, and a tremendous race to the cave, where, if they follow us, we will keep them at bay with our rifles.” “Umph!

Systems, my boy, are hard things to fight. I warn you of that.… Well, I must do something with you—umph—I suppose. What do you—umph—suggest?” “I—I don’t know, sir.” “The—umph—usual?” “If you like, sir.” “Umph—as if I care—so long as you’re satisfied—umph … but there’s one thing, Waveney …” “Yes, sir?” “Be—be kind, my boy.” “Kind, sir?” “Yes—umph—even when you’re fighting systems. Because there are—umph—human beings—behind those systems.… And now—umph—run along.” Chips watched the boy’s receding figure as he walked to the door across the study carpet; then, with a half-mile to himself, he called out: “Oh, Waveney——” “Yes, sir?” “What—umph—are you going to be when you grow up?” “I don’t know, sir.” “Well—umph—I think I can tell you. You’re going to be either—umph—a great man or—umph—a confounded nuisance.… Or—umph—both … as so many of ’em are.… Remember that.… Good-bye, my boy.…

C.A. Tedeschi (Fen and the Every Path)
Once, asked for his opinion of bayonet practice being carried on near the cricket pavilion, he answered, with that lazy, slightly asthmatic intonation that had been so often and so extravagantly imitated: “It seems—to me—umph—a very vulgar way of killing people.” The yarn was passed on and joyously appreciated—how Chips had told some big brass hat from the War Office that bayonet fighting was vulgar. Just like Chips. And they found an adjective for him—an adjective just beginning to be used: he was pre-War.
