Not only would I like my fortune told, I would like to share that when I was a lawyer, we often had to include the name of a nearby city in Important Legal Documents, which naturally we would spell check to avoid embarrassing errors. The city is named Fuquay Varina. The spell checker would change it to Fuquay Vagina. ---

Spell Checker got a little aroused by your story of the naughty bits, and won’t tell me what **Aryn** possesses. Perhaps it is the bass player in her hot techno band. ---
