women go for the "i’m butch-er than all of you, including the males" look in the kitchen—"i can lift more than you, i can work longer than you, i have a dirtier mouth than you, my motorcycle is bigger than yours, i...

as fanatical food-safety recommendations erring on the side of extreme caution go, one cannot help but consider that sex between a healthy young man and woman without birth control does not always lead to a pregnancy. I’m a...
