autogamy

conversation between paramecium and human

h: Okay, what about it?
p: I'm not comfortable talking about this.
h: Hermaphro-phobia poisons your thoughts. Can you have sex with yourself or what?
p: I don't know. The literature is not consistent on this point.
h: If I had a penis I would have sex with myself all the time.
p: If I had one I would not be a paramecium.
h: Read Diller 1954, on paramecium polycarum. He offers cytological proof of autogamy.
p: Those paramecium were imprisoned and tortured. The ones in the pictures are stained. Look what goes on in your human laboratories.
h: A jail for hermaphrodites? That sounds more like Vegas
p: That's the way I feel about it too. Mr. Diller is welcome to swim with me any time.
