When sliced bread was invented, people said it was the greatest thing since prefabricated chamber pots. And when hotcakes were invented, people predicted they would sell like pomanders. ---

Sliced bread good. Best thing Og see since someone remove meat from deer _before_ Og take bite. Awkward, holding whole deer while eat. Plus, venison sandwhich very good at two in morning. Sliced dear meat was best thing Og see since someone kill deer with stick _before_ Og take bite. Very awkward, hold deer _still_ while eat. Plus, deer poop on Og’s cave floor while eat. Deer meat was best thing Og see since Og take bite of rock. Og smite dumbass who handed Og rock when Og was hungry, big time. Much awkward and embarassing, smite dumbass and call him name with mouthfull pebbles and broken teeth. Broken teeth only reason Og not bite dumbass, instead of smite. [sub]Where vegemite and cayan pepper? Og all hungry, now.[/sub] ---

We don’t actually have sex with bread here in the Silver State. As prostitution is legal in Nevada the bread/sex thing is something of an inside joke. Nevada natives often use Wonder bread wrappers as condoms. We find the snug fit to be very comfortable while allowing a full “stroke”. ---

::Aside:: SandyHook, I miss Nevada! Used to go there whenever I had vacation time. (Lived In LA God forgive me). 'Just took my dog, jumped in the truck and drove around the state exploring. Found some good shit! (Antiquewise that is) Yes, I’ve been to Reno and Vegas, but I don’t think those places are the best part of Nevada. The best of your State is that its not crowded. At all! 🙂
