I was watching HGTV the other day - some ditsy designer was talking about painting her room a “buttery yellow” with a “chocolate brown” trim. I decided I wanted to paint my room a “Miller Lite gold” with a “sperm white” trim. Can hardly wait to go to Home Depot to order the paint. As a Gay guy, I don’t find a guy in drag at all sexually exciting - but come football season, I see all these strip clubs advertising with photos of women wearing NFL jerseys, black splotches under their eyes and wearing helmets - why on earth would a hetero guy want to fantasize banging somebody who looks like they could be a Green Bay Packer? Maybe there is more to those NFL players slapping butts after a good play than I realized. If sex weren’t pleasurable, would the world’s population today be about 12 people? If there were no religions in the world, absolutely none, would anything really change - other than a few less wars and terrorists? ---

How come 95% of the population gets “its” and “it’s” confused, but 0% of the population gets “his” and “hi’s” confused? ---
