Will walmart carry it?
Will it be in the porno section of the local vido store?

I thought they were bi-sexual sheepherders.
Uh...here is something someone I know said one time when we were discussing females in the military....they are either lesbian, love the attention from the fellas (if you get my drift), or looking for a husband.....

What woman wants to see a movie about a married couple where the husband is pining for someone other than the faithful wife?
The president of the NOW who is married (to a man) but actually lives with her woman sex partner.
Huh ?
