AMMAN (AFP) - A budding romance between a Jordanian man and woman
turned into an ugly public divorce when the couple found out that they
were in fact man and wife, state media reported.

Separated for several months, boredom and chance briefly re-united Bakr
Melhem and his wife Sanaa in an Internet chat room, the official Petra
news agency said.

Bakr, who passed himself off as Adnan, fell head over heels for Sanaa,
who
signed off as Jamila (beautiful) and described herself as a
cultured, unmarried woman -- a devout Muslim whose hobby was reading,
Petra said.

Cyber love blossomed between the pair for three months and soon they
were
making wedding plans. To pledge their troth in person, they
agreed to meet in the flesh near a bus depot in the town of Zarqa,
northeast of Amman.

The shock of finding out their true identities was too much for the
pair.

Upon seeing Sanaa-alias-Jamila, Bakr-alias-Adnan turned white and
screamed at the top of his lungs: "You are divorced, divorced,
divorced" -- the traditional manner of officially ending a marriage in
Islam.

"You are a liar," Sanaa retorted before fainting, the agency said.

Well then -

You put a rubberband around the sack really tight till they swell up and then use a heated butter knife and tweezers to pluck the hairs -

Or you can use Nair - just be sure to leave it on for at least an hour before you rinse.

Advice passed along from Ranger Spice without comment:

The key to comfortably shaving your cock is to use aftershave afterwards. It's a real rush, especially the first time, but cuts down on the bumps and ingrown hairs enough to make it more than worth it.

Very reliable, when it comes to subject matter in this field of knowledge.

It's funny how he offered me that advice unsolicited, in a paternal "something you really ought to know but that no one has probably ever told you" sort of way.

Dirty old bastard gets more action than anyone I know. Including men who are 1/3 his age (like me).

In the last year, I've been lucky to both meet and hang out with a number of Seattle e-playans...

I know I'm jumpin' the gun here, but I never know myself when I'm going to disappear; so here's the first Valentines for '05 (I hope!)

My personal Valentines are MISS LYDIA LOVE, Ms. RebA!, Miss Rian Jackson and lastly, but(t!) certainly not leastly, Miss GuinivereElise!

To those not living in Seattle, you have my sincere sympathy.

And he's just asking NOW for tips??? So, what BHA, your balls are covered in scratches and cuts?

Damn.

FWIW, I'd assume that the same rules of thumb for shaving anything else also apply... it's better if you soak whatever the body part is in warm water first. It opens up the pores.

Course, i've never shaved balls before. I could be way off track.

YMMV.
