Breast Exam Poem
For years and years they told me, Be careful of your breasts. Don't ever squeeze or bruise them. And give them monthly tests.
So I heeded all their warnings, And protected them by law. Guarded them very carefully, And I always wore my bra.

After 30 years of astute care, My doctor found a lump. She ordered up a mammogram, To look inside that bump. "Stand up very close" she said. As she got my boob in line, "And tell me when it hurts" she said. "Ah yes! There, that's fine.

She stepped upon a pedal. I could not believe my eyes! A plastic plate pressed down and down, My boob was in a vise!

My skin was stretched and stretched, From way up under my chin. My poor boob was being squashed, To Swedish pancake thin.

Excruciating pain I felt. Within it's vice-like grip. A prisoner in this viscous thing, My poor defenseless tit!

"Take a deep breath" she said to me, Who does she think she's kidding? My chest is mashed in her machine, And woozy I am getting.

"There, that was good," I heard her say As the room was slowly swaying. "Now, let's have a go at the other one." Lord have mercy I was praying.

It squeezed me from up and down. It squeezed me from both sides. I'll bet she's never had this done, Not to her tender little hide!

If I had no problem when I came in, I surely have one now. If there had been a cyst in there, It would have popped, "ker-pow!"

This machine was created by a man, Of this, I have no doubt. I'd like to stick his balls in there, And see how they come out!

Super Granny



An elderly lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her car. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at them at the top of her voice, "I have a gun and I know how to use it!



Get out of the car you scumbags!"
The four men didn't wait for a second invitation but got out and ran like mad, whereupon the lady, somewhat shaken, proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the driver's seat.

She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried and then it dawned on her why. A few minutes later she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down. She loaded her bags into her car and drove to the police station.



The sergeant to whom she told the story nearly tore himself in two with laughter and pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale white males were reporting a car jacking by a mad elderly woman described as white, less than 5' tall, glasses, and curly white hair carrying a large handgun.



No charges were filed.
(True story!)

when I get close to a lady and want to be honest and open, I always wonder if I should tell her that I like looking at men on the net. also want to perform oral sex on them. I am mostly straight, but can not deny the other. At what point in a relationship should I tell a woman about this? She may freak!

I don't get it. Some of them seem to actually enjoy acting like they are superior to us? If I see a straight guy that's hot, I'm like oh nice, but it doesn't turn me on that much. I'd much more attracted to hot gay guys, because it's a turn-on if they want me too!

I have a co-worker that says this all the time. I can't help but feel, if you have to throw that little statement in with almost everything you say; maybe you are a little racist. Or should I say ignorant and going more on what you hear than what you have experienced for yourself. What are your thoughts?

elaborating on my question earlier...most people chose lingerie as the hottest thing for a girl to wear...then my questions are:
why is wearing lingerie hotter?
do women look unappealing when naked? and if so, then whats with all the hype about nudity?
And (according to mainstream ideals) why is it that most men would rather choose to to see someone naked rather then in lingerie?

I will not give my opinion on this, except to say, look at ALL the data and evidence before making an assessment.

I guess I'll provide a generalized example of my own race. Being an Asian, sometimes I am really annoyed by certain Asians trying to "act smart" or are actually smart and think that they are better than regular joes and people who don't go to school. They even expect me to be that way, and when I'm not the "stereotypical geeky asian" they expect me to be it feels like I'm left out. Sometimes, they just proclaim that they are good in academics and want a prestegious job, like in the medical field, when actually they don't even care about school that much and are just doing it to fit in. Is it just me, or do you also sometimes feel that people within your race wants to support stereotypes of your own race ? Are you bothered by it?

If the ancient egyptians were not Africans then the non-african population would have existed somewhere other than africa before migrating to Egypt. But where is the great civilization that would pre-dates egypt that contains all the knowledge egypt was built upon? Where is the great pyramid outside of Africa?

If the Arabs were the original builders of the pyramids why did they wait until migrating to Africa to build them?

Did autism become high profile in the late 1990s or early 2000s? I need to know because I didn't discover autism until late 2004. So can anyone please give me a specific answer?

I do not hate Barack Obama because he is black or anything(I don't hate him at all). I just think that having a black president would be horrible for our society. I mean you see all the looting and rioting that happens when the Lakers win a big game or there is a natural disaster. I can't imagine what would happen if we had a black president(or part black).

I've seen many people who have racist or discriminant parents or relatives yet they themselves were able to break out of it. They were once racists as well due to the influence gained by adults. I think we all got some racism in us even if we aren't being racist right now, we can always become one anytime due to some reason.

Due to my parent's influence, I never thought of a interracial relationship but now I am up for it and support it with anyone. Such as if I see couples of any race combination, I smile. I dislike how I thought back then, for me it was thinking out of the box that helped me. What made you break free from extreme racist influence?

Thanks for reading.

Does it bother you when people say "that white girl," "that asain chick," or "that one black girl?" Even though they don't mean it in a bad way, does it bug you? I've noticed so many teenagers say that during school. I get called these all the time because of my race and religion, and it doesn't really effect me. I think it's just a matter of respect. What are your views on this?

Why is it politically incorrect to ask a soldier that has been to war if they killed anybody or how many people they killed while they were at war?? I understand that it may be insensitive, but that is partly their job. So it seems like a rational question. If they can't deal with killing or the questions afterward then maybe they shouldn't sign up for a job that may require killing people.

I don't understand something, so maybe someone could help me out here. I live in a predominately African American area of the US. All the time on the news, you hear from the African American community that they don't have equal rights and they are looked down upon, etc. First....we have so many names of things and holidays and even a WHOLE MONTH dedicated to Black History and historical figures....where is the month dedicated to the rest of the history of the US? And why is it that when I go to EVERY Wal-Mart, Target, KMart, etc., around here looking at Christmas things that EVERY plastic Santa is black? There is a whole endcap of black baby dolls, and EVERY nativity scene is of a black Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus? Does the world not understand that Santa (which the "idea" of Santa stemmed from St. Nicholas who was from Asia Minor-meaning...he's not of African descent) and that Mary, Joseph and Jesus were not African...they weren't white either. He was born in Judea.)

Real crazy people don't know they are crazy.
A really racist/bigot usually don't realize that he/she is.

What could you quite possibly be considered?
