Hmmm. It seems like you were one of the last to find out about this um, _outlet._ I have done hundreds of old ladies over the years in the back room of the bingo parlor over the years and I am only 31. They always raise their arms and scream “BINGO!, BINGO!” when you are doing it just right. You have to shower before you get home though because you will have the telltale stamp marks all over your body. ---

Ha! You’re still playing “Bingo”? You ought to get yourself down to your local Bowls Club. There’s some clever wrist action going on down there. And if you’re into the really _nasty_ stuff… …Bridge 😉 ---

Bingo isn’t all old ladies. A number of young women go along with older relatives and friends. When my fire company ran bingo as a fund raiser, there was no trouble getting the young single guys to help. 😉 ---

> [@Aagramn](#): > > I’ve always wondered what _really_ goes on at tupperware parties. _You’ve_ never been to a topless (hostess only) tupperware party? I have. The hostess, a former minor porn star, wihpped out her rather tremendous rack to compare herself to the boob cake TheLadyLion made in her honor. She had all kinds of useful tips such as which container was best for condoms and which was suitable for storing your dildos under the bed so they don’t get lint all over them.
