Well, when I married him he was neither . . . does this mean I have to do it over again? :eek:

Au contraire, there. I have known some flakey nurses in my time. I would like to know just when she last worked as a nurse–we tend to have more COMMON SENSE than she is displaying.

I am not a psychiatrist, but I call Borderline personality on her. Or at the very least hypo-manic.

As a white woman who is a nurse and is married–I take offense at her amazing idiocy. Greyhound bus stations are in bad parts of town? How sheltered IS this woman? What a nimrod. She will have to work UP to stupid.

As to her Mama bein’ her bankuh–never heard of that Southern custom.

But to me it augurs a more ominous, hidden problem–methinks this woman is majorly controlled by her parents, and is perhaps exchanging one Master Puppeteer for another in her marriage…

Suicidal? I don’t think so. Despairing at becoming her own person and in charge of her own life–very possibly. For this, she earns my sympathy, sadly melted away d/t to the cost and the gratuitous denigration of Hispanics etc.

OK-so I am envisioning a spread in Playboy with her as the Centerfold…but all you see is the last tip of ankle.

See!? She’s “running away” from the shoot!  
I crack myself up, I’m telling ya!

If she does do a spread–she needs some shades over those eyes. Who can see anything else, but Marty Feldman eyes? (am now humming that old tune, “Bette Davis Eyes”…)

I’m sorry… I missed the “Rules Governing Outlandish Lies” memo. The one that said to only use racially non descript fictional characters.

Jennifer’s breasts aren’t real, but yes, they’re pretty nice-looking. Trashier women than her have benefited from a shoot in _Playboy._ Hell, _Penthouse,_ even.  
[sub]Gennifer Flowers?[/sub]

If Jennifer wants to _really_ do something for humanity, she could throw herself at _Monster Garage_ goon [Jesse James](http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/monstergarage/monstergarage.html), hopefully breaking up his engagement to Sandra Bullock, which is an abomination unto Og.

Wow, I wasn’t even aware she had breasts a couple hours ago, and now I find out they’re not even real.

[sub]Maybe the one redeeming quality she had, and now even that’s ruined.[/sub]

That’s nice of you, but:

a) $4 will only buy me what, a week or two in the hotel, and  
b) will it be in a bad part of town? and  
c) I’ll need about 20 cents more for cab fare . . .

This makes me sad because, well, have you seen Sandra’s breasts?

And probably a couple bucks so you can eat. If we collected, say, $12.50, that’d be enough for a month at a nice resort. How’s that sound?
