@Treeless: Agree w/your comment, but hers has me confused: Some cancers do spread to brain (my late father's, for one).

Funny and well written, yes!

@JustZoot: He told her they were married. He recounted their first date. He told her they had four children.

@BunnyJones: No, that happened during Swing Shift (1983). They already had a son when Overboard was filmed. And even if it were true, it's irrelevant.

@Daoudmac: Sounds like something similar that happened to me, in both ears, for six months. Doc threatened to put tubes in my ears, like the tubes little kids get. Stay away from all white powdered substances & all cigarette smoke; limit eggs and dairy; don't dunk your head in a swimming pool; go to the pharmacy and…

@Asha L Kydd: Silly. If a guy gets a vasectomy, he won't be impregnating anyone.

Gentlemen: Condoms=Protection. For your wallet.

@rdVark: Agree on both trust and pluses and minuses of promiscuity. One thing that kills me whenever I read the "woe is me she won't abort" story, is that there is invariably a line where the man says "I told her I didn't want a baby."

@cand86: Are you holding me down and taking the egg against my will? Or am I throwing it at you while I climax?
