Cormac McCarthy's ex-wife pulled a gun out of her vagina

...arguing over aliens.

Cormac McCarthy must have lived one hell of a life up to this point.

Perhaps the best line in that story: "The woman started having sex with the handgun, her boyfriend told cops, and asked him, “Who is crazy, you or me?”

...you got a permit for that, or are you just glad to see me?

The world 'vagina' comes from the latin for 'sheath', as in 'knife sheath', so a gun holster isn't too much of a (ahem) stretch.

Just when I think I've heard everything. The question was rhetorical, right? :wink:

Thanks for this.

I thought his spare, bleak prose was a reflection of his years in the bottle. The hellish shadow of (what must have been) McCarthy's marriage provides a little more insight.

I didn't think McCarthy could ever really convincingly craft female characters. Sadly, this lack of awareness was apparently reflected in his relationship choices.

So that's what happiness is a warm gun means.

That's a mighty fancy holster you've got there, Maam!

Sounds like she needs to wear a chastity belt. That way, she can call herself a responsible gun owner who keeps her guns locked up.

I also get the feeling she's doesn't know what G-spot refers to.
