Moms who had the highest amounts gave birth to boys with more feminine characteristics.

That was NOT intended as an insult! Sorry if it was poorly phrase!

It was a joke about the “soft and pliable” phrase!

“Just short the plastic industry stocks.”

Some men will be reminded to do this every day, for the rest of their lives.

Between this and the high levels of estrogen in our water supplies, no wonder we have so many problems here.

And all the soy we feed our boys, starting with soy formulas or soy consumed by pregnant moms.

{Reprising an old take on the song-}

There’s one pill that makes you larger
While the others make you small
If the ones your lover gives you
Don’t do anything at all
Get Cialis
And be one foot tall.

And if you screw around like rabbits
And you know you’re about to fall
Where a hooker strokin’ the pillar
Won’t even make it answer the call
Cialis...
And you won’t be small.

When others on the chat board
Get up and tell you where to go
And you’ve just tried some other treatment
But ol’ Johnson’s stayin’ low
Get Cialis-
I think he’ll show.

When largeness and proportion
Have fallen floppy dead
And your “Height Knight” is going backwards
So your love queen leaves the bed
Remember, what the doctor said:
“CIALIS — Be a Man — CIALIS”

And why do the commercials always have the man and the woman in separate tubs?
