Vibrators and blood clots.

And our freedom's consuming itself,
What we've become is contrary to what we want,
Take a bow ..

I've been getting a shitload of spam email lately. Most of it makes no sense, but every once in a while a subject line comes across and makes me giggle like a small child.

The current favourite was "Did you get blood clots while on birth control?", but that was replaced yesterday with this absolute gem:- "For your wife's last b-day you gave her a vibrator because of your hopeless Erectile Dysfunction".

This got me wondering if that somewhere in the world, this was the truth. Some poor weedy bloke, probably sitting at his computer in the small hours of the morning in his underpants while his wife lay in the bedroom spooning the vibrator. Cast your mind to that previous birthday. He would probably be wearing a paper party hat, his wife had just blown out the candles on her cake, then she opened up her gift, her face falling.

"Oh James, this is awkward. Why would you get me this?"

Then he would sigh, bow his head and say, "It's because of my hopeless Erectile Dysfunction. Please note that the E and D should be capitalized. I love you."
