“You should see the boat I got for my wife.” Prices for me phones in china (where they are most likely built) must be purty dang high.

in order to give it more security

A baby girl is a HER, not an IT.

“You should see the boat I got for my wife.”

One day as President Clinton was getting off the helicopter in front of the White House, he had a baby pig under each arm.

The Marine guard snapped to attention, salutes, and said: "Nice pigs, sir."

The President replied, "These are not pigs, these are authentic Arkansas Razorback Hogs. I got one for Hillary, and I got one for Chelsea."

The Marine again snapped to attention, saluted, and replied, "Nice trade, sir."'

In China it’s an IT and Chinese women goes into a panic mode if they have more than one.

One stinking baby for the newest iPhone? That’s not a bad deal.

Trade baby. Me no likey anyway. Additionally, the “costumes” remind me of john f’n kerry heinz when he came to space center a few years back. By the way, he served in VN. In case you forgot.

What we need to do is to find a way to trade about 50 million Americans socialists for 50 million hard-working, freedom desiring Chinese.

That baby was made in China. Walmart will probably start selling those things.

I get it. john f’n kerry heinz was in Cambodia to deliver Christams presents. It all makes sense to me now. THAT was the secret mission. Too bad he didn’t meet JhenJiss Kahn while he was in the area.

There were times when my daughter was about 15 or so that this would have seemed like a logical decision. I was about to take out a seller’s account on Ebay and sell her with no reserve, no returns, and no guarantee. (Glad we’re ten years past that phase!)

This kind of thing should be legal as long as the buyer checks out not to be a perv. If a couple is willing to sell their baby, they should definitely lose their right and possession of said baby.
