Just in case this suggestion involves the 'electro-ejaculator', I'm going home now...
Was that featured in a Woody Allen movie?

No, that was the 'Orgasmatron'. Jees, I'd expect an old perv like you to have a better knowledge of space porn. :rolleyes:

She did, in fact, recruit the sheriffs of several jurisdictions to aid in it's recovery. They were of no help. An on-call emergency proctologist, on the other hand, proved to be my Waterloo. :redface:

Well, I'd never turn back, but Woolie is a bit of a wimp in these matters.

I remember that. :biggrin: Wasn't there also "Rhino love"?

<sniff> Those were the days. You, Doc Toxin, Artman, Moonbear. Those are classics. It was all Doc Toxin's fault, he led us down that path. I never knew what a merkin was. :-p

I saw this post the other day and was going to offer to send Wooly the stamps I have been collecting for the last 40 years and recommend that he try auto-philatio; the collecting of stamps by ones self. But I was like, oh my god, that is so base...

But after reading the last few posts...

Wooly? Can you organize my stamps for me if I send them all to you? There are only about 10,000 or so.

Thanks,

Om

Two Merkins escaped from London zoo last year, there are thousands of them running wild now, when they attack they attach them selfs to any exposed flesh, removing them is said to be very painful.
