Winter is coming to Afghanistan.
Winter is coming to Afghanistan. Several million may die of starvation if aid does not reach them soon. Relief agencies have called for a pause in the bombing to allow relief workers access.

There sure are a lot of us.
There sure are a lot of us. Not to mention that there have been a lot of us. You might be surprised how many.

My, how we've grown.
Mommy, mommy, I want to get my teeth kicked in this Halloween!

"Boss, I'm on sick leave right now, my thighs really hurt, the government is paying me unemployment insurance." Germany inacts law that sees prostitution as any other form of work, whereby she can take you to court if you don't pay.

Confessions of a sex shop clerk - What makes me think this is the kind of job everyone else dreams of in secret? Anyways, as a sidenote, we'd definitely be better off making love instead of war right now, don't you think?
