**Man!!!** You people are perverted. Funny, very funny, but perverted. BTW I once used my shinyasshole to signal SOS during an emergency . I recieved the key to the city and a certificate of meritorious assholery. It’s framed and on my wall to impress my guests. ---

**Knowed Out** you know, all this thread has done is allowed you to point people to a thread where you made a slight fool of yourself, and got a slight repremand for calling someone an attention whore in the wrong forum. Not only are you pitting yourself, you are doing it lamely 🙂 ---

In all seriousness, though, actually having a shiny asshole would appear to be all upside. If nothing else, it would be a heck of an icebreaker at cocktail parties and such. I really can’t think of a situation where I would lament having a high albedo anus. ---
