Should I become an exotic dancer, or use empty toilet paper rolls? A man needs a hobby. I guess I’m not well-rounded. I seldom take a vacation (never, come to think of it), and I don’t spend a whole lot of time in church, though I do not consider myself a pagan. All I do is work to pay a bill, and...

There are certain parts of the human body I just can’t figure out. For example, testicles, you know, the little round reproductive spheres men have.   Why testicles? What do they do? If you’re a woman, the best way I can describe it…it’s like having an octopus right under your male organ. These...

I have a plan to repopulate the universe in my own image. Aren’t you tired of everybody looking different and having different opinions than you, always complaining and squabbling? Aren’t you sick of it?   I know I am. I think I can remake a new universe in my own image and achieve godlike...

  How many of you out there are into unimaginative, bump-and-grind, let’s-get-it-over-with automaton-like sex, if you engage in sex at all? How many? Let me see a show of hands. Ha-ha!

When the Evil Queen in Snow White looked at her reflection saying, “Mirror, Mirror, on the wall. Who’s the fairest of them all?” she was looking for reassurance that she was still top of the food chain. She didn’t want to hear that the fairest was some young up-start destined...

                Author’s note. I asked Maureen Valdes Marsh, a columnist at Vintagegrace.com, to write a column on what a woman wants from a man. I answered the same question in reverse, what does a man want from a woman? Below are the two different responses.       ...
