Thank you both Casey and Bill.
As the proud posessor of both Boobs and a Uterus as well as a very healthy
sense of humor I'm simply not easily offended..... However I would just like
to say that as a Redhead I am easily annoyed... so I was chewing my
fingernails off trying to decide whether to respond or not to this fiasco,
entertaining fiasco to be sure, but still.
OH and just for the record Paul duck... Women do make Knob jokes.... we just
don't do it when your around to hear it,after all, we do have an image to
uphold *Wink*
Laughter, Mirth, and snarky comments for all!!
Viva Les Vlog!
