Mars?? That’s what _they_ want you to believe. That whole ‘men are from Mars’ crap is just disinformation. Obama is from Venus! Don’t believe their lies! His Venusian name is B’Raako B’aamah. It was Anglicized when he came through Ellis Island.

Gah! I can’t believe I got that wrong! I had it wrong, corrected it, and then must have changed it back somehow. I checked it! [Han Solo]They told me they fixed it! [Hs}

A user here once tried to masturbate with toothpaste. Not naming names because it is an older event that they may want to have moved past.

I should have put a 😃 after my post. It was a joke.

Oh, yeah, and re-reading your OP in the process of composing the nested multi-quote, above, I saw this that I hadn’t noticed the first time:

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#):

> JAQ (you can call me Jack)

You should have gone for ‘Jack Kingov’. Woulda been even more amusing. 😃

[sup]😃 added this time to make it clear it was a joke.[/sup]
