I am such a perfectionist, that when buying gas I make sure it comes out
to x dollars and 00 cents, even though I always pay with a credit card, and
this usually means that I overshoot three or four times until the gas is
pouring out of the tank all over my dress shoes and I'm going to stink all
day but I don't want to stop because it isn't a round number yet.

Someone mentioned that university students around the globe are
killing themselves because they are having too much sex.

I'm confused.  During high school, I was a walking hormone.  I wanted
sex so bad I would have waded through a mile of fermenting diapers
just to lick the ear lobe of a fairly hideous transsexual.

And people are killing themselves because of TOO MUCH rumpy pumpy?

I believe the expression "you can never have too much food, money or
sex" comes to mind.   Someone oughta teach these crazy university kids

1) Renquist, Lucifer. Whatever. I liked my casting better, but only
