Nerves and Needles

Deathly afraid of needles Barbie began to whine and wheedle Aw, Doc, before you plunge in that syringe Listen to this, try not to cringe Studies show that needle-induced trauma afflicts 98% of birthing mommas... But Doc went ahead, stuck in that sharp pole Bwa-ha-ha ~ another win for population control

Mr.Wolf!(Said as Mr.Christian)Just think how many homesteads just Ted Turners land holdings could house alone.And in the immortal words of my dear departed mother"point out the one you want me to knock in the head", when questioned if she and my father were trying to start their own nation.

Yeah, you gotta think: do we have enough people yet? Eliz.

I don't think we have nearly enough people. Most parts of the USA, for example, are wilderness. Probably 75% or so. (Just a guess). Right now, we're on track for the USA and Western Europe to be underpopulated very soon, as there are fewer births than deaths every year. Hmm. :)

I don't think I quite understand this one, gw, but that's not so unusual. Sometimes I'm rather dense!

Not to worry, Milt. The guy who wrote this doesn't understand it either! :)
