2. Not so fast.........
How can you resist something like this?

"You will need to buy rubber friends of a bigger size."

Well, of course.

So I guess there's no call for this (which I just learned about):

5. I know when I've been particularly busy typing all day,
my fingertips need a really good massage. I sure could use one of those. I wonder how much they are.

11. Most of my adult life, I've thought that particular meme/insecurity was pretty insane.
It puzzles me that my peers would have concerns "in that area." As I consider the size of an average infant, I have to wonder at anyone who'd aspire to possessing "equipment" of comparable dimensions ... or even half that. I sure don't. It doesn't take much experience to know that bumping up against the cervix isn't particularly comfortable for one's partner. It seems to me that anyone preoccupied with size is in sad need of education ... or Kegel exercises.
:evilgrin:

10. Haha! I think it's probably something very much like this...

I'm linking the picture because it's very large and I'd hate to ruin the page's formatting by inserting the image the normal way. :o

That was my spam box a few months ago with all sorts of fake headlines. Note some of them say "PLAY" in the text preview. If you click (and I didn't), I assume it'd redirect you to a site and give you a fake "You need to download this version of Flash" message... something the user would have to click to activate, basically.

Same idea, if not the same exact type of message. Very fake, very obvious, I'd imagine. :)
