    This isn't the first time I've seen something like this, so no, I didn't try to lick my elbow. But somebody else in the room tried to lick theirs!

    No but I tried to calculate how many weeks I'd be having sex out of a lifetime. Then I got to the one about the copier and remembered setting my lunch down on the one at work last night. Thanks Alot!!
