7. I'd recommend using a lubricant if you're smoking afterwards.
Or being a LITTLE less enthusiastic.

11. Pshaw! I already knew I wasn't gonna get prostate cancer.
I don't have a prostate.


Anything in this for me? (besides the obvious.) Because from my viewpoint, I knew it wasn't bad for me except that I'm kinda worried about carpal tunnel syndrome.

32. I believe Joycelyn Elders was right.
It's safe, it's fun, it's educational, it's cathartic. No reason not to.

I also believe Woody Allen was right: it's sex with someone you love. :)

31. Another scientific truth the Church/Government (is there a difference?) would prefer you not know.
Nice to remind people of it, especially since the Pope is here flogging his (sorry) no-orgasms-for-pleasure agenda.

Pot smoking can be good for you, too. Shhhh!!!

since it is the only real sign that there is a god...or Gods up there.
