So Ultra Sensitive doesn't mean for the extra delicate? I hate code!

Yeah, apparently condoms all have their own hanky codes, and we just weren't priviledged to it.

So Ultra Sensitive doesn't mean for the extra delicate?

Nope. It means the member requires more than the usual amount of stimulation.

Also, the female condom was originally created to be for gay male anal sex, but the manufacturers knew they could never market it that way.

I wonder if this decision was made before or after they discovered that the chief side-effect of this kind of condom is -- squeaking?

I did know about STDs being called STIs, because, if you didn't get infected with it, then it wasn't sexually transmitted. (Thus, genetic syphillis is a disease, while syphillis you went out and caught yourself is an infection. And a nasty one, to boot.)

Are our units per inch?

Oh, dear. That was a sensible sentence in my head, but I couldn't type it without it morphing into lewdness.

Are the bosses riding around the hallways on colorful floats, throwing the beads to the employees?

There is something on the poster about watching out for the managment float in the building tomorrow.

I'm frightened.

Maybe "watching out for" means to hide around the corner armed with a baseball bat?

I'd pay money to see our managers make goofs of themselves. Well, ok not money but...

People are currently being "encouraged" to take various forms of leave. Why? To lower budget projections to avoid another round of layoffs. Budget math is freaky.

The guy who does the sex tips for slash writers was at the con I was at this weekend. He's pretty cute, and very funny, although I missed his panel on the things Guys Can't Physically Do. Dana might remember; I did hear that there were twinkies as visual aids.

We just got our quarterly vacation updates, and I have 1/2 a vacation day carried over from last year. How the hell does one use half a vacation day? Maybe I can persuade HR to just pay me for half an extra day instead.

Huh. Wonder if this info can be trusted....

Vice President Dick Cheney is expected to retire within a year.

Senior GOP sources envision the retirement of Mr. Cheney in 2007, months after the congressional elections. The sources said Mr. Cheney would be persuaded to step down as he becomes an increasing political liability to President Bush.

The sources reported a growing rift between the president and vice president as well as their staffs. They cited Mr. Cheney's failure to immediately tell the president of the accidental shooting of the vice president's hunting colleague earlier this month. The White House didn't learn of the incident until 18 hours later.

Mr. Cheney's next crisis could take place by the end of the year, the sources said. They said the White House was expecting Mr. Cheney to defend himself against charges from his former chief of staff, Lewis Libby, that the vice president ordered him to relay classified information. Such a charge could lead to a congressional investigation and even impeachment proceedings.

"Nothing will happen until after the congressional elections," a GOP source said. "After that, there will be significant changes in the administration and Cheney will probably be part of that."

Already, senators expect Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald to investigate whether Mr. Cheney authorized Mr. Libby to divulge classified material. Mr. Libby has told a grand jury that unnamed "superiors" directed him to relay the content of a National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq in July 2003.
