Bumpshack Joke: Doctor Dave had sex with one of his patients and felt guilty all day long. No matter how much he tried to forget about it, he couldn't. The guilt and sense of betrayal was overwhelming. But every once in a while he'd hear an internal, reassuring voice that said: "Dave, don't worry about it. You aren't the first doctor to sleep with one of their patients and you won't be the last. And you're single. Just let it go.." But invariably the other voice would bring him back to reality, whispering... "Dave, you're a veterinarian..."

Court finds woman not liable for injuries her boyfriend sustained during consensual sex more than a decade ago.

"There are no comprehensive legal rules to regulate consensual sexual behavior," Justice Joseph Trainor wrote.

Dame Eileen, 70 years old, tells of Colin Farrell spending two hours trying to proposition her for sex and her refusal to give in despite a strong urge to.

'I was doing a movie and three weeks before my 70th birthday, a simply stunningly gorgeous big film star aged 28 years old, came into my hotel room for sex without strings.'

'I spent two and a half hours saying No. But it was pure bliss and it made me sail through my 70th birthday without a care in the world.'

Dame Eileen added: 'It cheered me up fantastically. I said No in the end because he said, "The reason you won't do it is because your body isn't as good as it was when you were young isn't it? That's why you're saying No. I don't care about that. I don't care."

I know some of you have been kicked out of strip clubs, but do you know anyone that has been kicked out of a casino?  I know people who have been thrown out of both.  This man explains, in this humorous article, how he was thrown out of the same casino twice in the same week:

"The first time it happened I was kinda embarrassed because they had security walk me out with the girl I was and every one was staring at us. The reason everyone was watching me was because the chick I was with looked like a prostitute. She isn’t, but good bless her soul she sure can dress like one. She was really the main reason we got kicked out the first time. Mostly because she couldn’t stand still and fell into and knocked over an entire row of slot machine chairs. Her skirt flew up, she was laughing uncontrollably, and she wanted more to drink. All of these things lead to security to escort us off of the casino floor. It was very good times."

"Once on the casino floor I was unstoppable! I was calling chicks from across the room and motioning them to me. When they came over I would tell them that they were ugly. It was a bet that me and Tyler had going. There was one chick that was genuinely interested in me; I talked to her for ten minutes before I explained to her why I thought she was to high maintenance based on what she was wearing. I have found that doing that is way more fun then trying to pick up chicks."     posted 11:29am by jholmes

The value of stay-at-home moms.  A study puts their value at over six figures per year.  I would tend to say that is an understated amount.  There is a lot to be said for a parent being their at home as the child grows up.  I know I sure appreciated my mom being there.  She helped me grow and feel loved in countless ways.  I know this is not always feasible, but I do think it is desirable.  posted 11:03am by jholmes
