... in my spamcop catchall thingy. The subject line says "Increase your penis 3
inches in 22 days".

I'm _very_ sure I can't increase the size of my penis at all. Should I sue these
guys for false promises?

Anyway, for 3" more you need to hang a weight on it, and then we're back to the
old joke "... the color's alright, but you still haven't gotten the size right."

It depends in what you mean by "your" penis.

The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} apparent that the names, "nmqao7mqpfcprash6fbeuvub9t" and
} "wkdtqrc6rtvrwqb2c4nnl6" are not actually the names of real e-mail

} or "#QQoayAC" for the slack jawed yokel who recently sent me e-mail, but
} I digress from your actual query.
}
} 22/7 could certainly satisfy one's whimsy, however, it will do little to
} satisfy ones fiancee. Now, she asserts that your breasts actually belong
} to her simply because they are hanging on the front of her chest. That's

Can I complain about my spam? I only get what I like to call the
"measurement spam". It's either about gaining inches or losing inches.

Sid, what if I just want to keep the inches I have?

Mine says "Feel 20 years younger!" which in my case would mean playing
with blocks and taking a nap every afternoon.

So, how 'bout it, Sid, you want to be called "cute" when you masturbate
and be allowed to shit whenever the spirit, er, moves you?

At the risk of appearing over-sensitive, that would seem very harsh - if I

Without any personal knowledge of your...condition..., I wonder if
this might explain your wife's propensity to look at the offered
member and say, "No thanks, I don't smoke."

I'd kinda like to take a nap right now, but I strongly suspect I can't.
Oh, well, that's why there's free coffee.

About 18 months ago, I decided to try to avoid caffeine. A bit later I
decided to modify that to no caffeine after 10 AM. Some weeks ago that
kinda went by the wayside too.

Thfbbt! Only a pansy would associate coffee with stress. Real coffee

Well, she only exhibits that propensity when you visit, y'know. ;-)

At least it's better "Get outta here! You're not bringing that... that...
that *thing* anywhere near me!"

No, once again she is having trouble distinguishing you from your cat.
That's why, when the cat brings in a dead generic-animal, she says,
"Come here Tiddles!"

At the risk of being insufficiently frivolous, that's not a key plot
element - it's the storyline, something you know going in. In HP&TCOS (if
you haven't read the book), the basilisk thing is a surprise. Which I have,
indeed, just spoiled - mea culpa.

True, I shouldn't have said "kids". I was really aiming for Ian.

I was walking down the street, then suddenly I turned into a door that
was ajar.

Two guys walked into a bar. Why didn't the second one duck?

You could have turned into a barber shop. That's a close shave.

Reminds me of a Dilbert that used to be on my wall <from memory>
Dilbert telling Dogbert how he gave up caffeine, and now he feels a

Dogbert responds "it's Thursday".
