THE PINCH (March 10, 2009)
Ivan Hrvatin likes to tell stories about an old gentleman from Pazin who is known far and wide for his amorous exploits. He is around ninety now, but he still insists that he is as good at it as ever. Last night at Klaudio’s Ivan told us about one of the old man’s amorous mishaps. He was walking by a house when a woman he knew beckoned him in. Although he was on his way to another lover’s house, he stopped by for a cup of coffee. Just as he was about to leave, he pinched the woman’s breast. “She fell on her back as though she was shot dead,” the old man said. But he went on his way nonetheless. “That was the biggest mistake I could make at the time,” he grinned. The woman told all and sundry how incompetent he was at lovemaking, which shook his reputation pretty badly. “It took me years to clear up my name,” he concluded. The most delightful bit in Ivan’s story is the pinch of the breast, which he performs at least twice with his own fingers while sporting the biggest grin you can imagine.
