Awesome and no repeats. Hope you've got more of them. PS Hope you sold lots of Vimmy in March and made that post from the SS VMRX! ===================================================== German Men Losers in Bed, Survey of Women Finds Updated 11:43 AM ET August 4, 2000 BERLIN (Reuters) - German men are losers in bed and nearly half of the women in the country say their partners leave them unsatisfied, according to a report in the best-selling newspaper Bild Friday. A survey of 345 women between the ages of 18 and 59 by the INRA research institute found that four in 10 were disappointed with their partners. The survey was printed beneath a page one headline that read: "The bitter truth about Germans in bed -- nearly every second women says: My partner can't satisfy me." The women complained of being neglected or that their partners were too rough. "A horrible picture emerges whenever I have therapy sessions with couples and then talk with the women alone," Professor Hartmut Porst, a leading sex therapist, told Bild. "The women complain about their men, saying they feel sexually neglected." He added that many German women have the impression that their partners treat sex as a "required duty" rather than something romantic or even spontaneous. "It's almost as if the men are looking forward to a date on the calendar rather than an erotic experience," Porst said. Dr Werner Habermehl, head of the Gewis institute for social research, said he found more than 30 percent of the women he surveyed recently disappointed with their partners. "Men just don't know enough about the world of feelings that women live in," Habermehl said. The newspaper also quoted a 22-year-old woman who complained about her partner. "Everything that my friend does in bed seems so technical," said the chemist identified only as Kerstin. "It's like he's the engineer and I'm the piece of machinery."

One day an atheist was out hunting for deer when he heard something behind him. He turned around to see that it was a bear. The bear got closer, so the frightened atheist decided to give prayer a try. "God, I know I denied you so many times, that it would be foolish for me to ask you to help me, so I ask you to please make the bear a Christian." When he finished his prayer, the bear got down on its knees. The atheist got closer, and heard the bear was saying: "God, bless this food I'm about to eat."

President Clinton finishes his time on earth and approaches the Pearly Gates. “And who might you be?” inquires Saint Peter. “It’s me, Bill Clinton, formerly the President of the United States and leader of the Free World.” “Oh....and what may I do for you?” asks Saint Peter. “I’d like to come in,” replies Clinton. “Sure,” says St. Peter. “But first you have to confess your sins. What bad things have you done in your life?” Clinton bites his lip and answers, “Well, I tried marijuana, but you can’t call it ‘dope-smoking’ because I didn’t inhale. There were inappropriate extramarital relationships but you can’t call it ‘adultery’ because I didn’t have full ‘sexual relations.’ And I made some statements that were misleading but legally accurate, but you can’t call it ‘bearing false witness’ because, as far as I know, it didn’t meet the legal standard of perjury”. With that, Peter consults the Book of Life briefly and declares “OK, here’s the deal. We’ll send you somewhere hot but we won’t call it Hell.’ You’ll be there indefinitely, but we won’t call it ‘eternity.’ And when you enter, you don’t have to ‘abandon all hope,’ just don’t hold your breath waiting for it to freeze over.”
