How many of you can stick your index finger in your nose, while simulataeously sticking your tongue out and licking your wrist. My tongue must be exceptionally short because I don’t even come close. Sorry Ladies. ---

Might I suggest you practice touching your tongue to the bottom of a shot glass, then, as that becomes comfortable, trying slightly larger glasses? I did that as a teenager (a girlfriend showed it to me in “The Sensuous Woman” by J) That, sir, is a workout that pays dividends. (_sigh_ that girl was sooo good for me) ---

Now be honest. How many of you actually tried to perform this asinine feat? I can do it too, but I just wanted to see how many people I could get to stick their fingers up their nose lick their wrist while behind the desk at their job. ---

I have changed what I was going to say several times now. I think I’d better just keep to one comment. I can’t wait til Mr Bear gets home next week! 😉 ---
