Ok, as many of you may know (or not), I am quite famous for not being the sharpest tool in the shed. A friend who recalls one of my more stellar moments and sent me this...it was just too funny and I had to share. I have no idea if it's true or not, just that it is funny...here you go (enjoy!):-)
From Laura H:
I thought of you since I figured if a person can get locked in her own TV room in her own house......

> There's no hair on it. Where is the hair??? WHERE IS THE WAX???

> Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet. I see the

> CRAP! I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is

> DAMN!!!!!!!! I hear the slamming of a cell door. Vagina? Sealed shut!

> There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret tricks for removal

> My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving

> The scream probably woke the kids and scared the dickens out of my

> works!!" I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and she hangs up.
> I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice to my

> IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by

> Next week I'm going to try hair color......
