    Have you seen the selection of vibrators they have out now? No wonder women buy so much technology. Seriously, don't you wonder who engineers these things?

      Men don't force woman to dress sexy, in fact
      when were dating them we often prefer then
      to dress down in public. Woman dress
      sexily because they are competiting with other
      woman for men attention, often male attention they
      don't want.

    OK, should we really be considering vibrators as "Tech"?

    "Women Buy More Tech Than Men"
    They probably don't actually buy more tech, they just pay more for it, the poor dears.

    When Rob Malda was looking for a good wife, he figured out a way to tell if a prospective mate is a virgin or not. Whenever he saw a girl that looked all right he took her out for a ride on his moped. All of a sudden he would stop, unbutton his pants, and show her his tool. "What's that?" says he. "Why it's a pecker," the girl says. So then he would button up his pants. "You aren't what I'm looking for," says he, and back to town they'd go.
    He kept on like that for several years, but all the girls gave him the same answer. Finally he found a pretty little waitress with yellow hair that worked in a hotel. Kathleen Fent was her name. They went riding on his moped, and when he pulled out his cock she just kind of giggled. "Why that's a tee-hee!" says Kathleen. Right then and there Rob Malda know she was just what he wanted. So he and she got married and they were both mighty happy.

    About six months after the wedding, they got to talking about old times. "Honey," says Rob, "how did you come to call my tool a tee-hee, that first time we went riding?" Kathleen replied, "tee-hee is the right word for it and any other girl would tell you the same."

    Rob shot back, "Oh no, out where I was raised they call it a pecker." Kathleen just laughed. "Shucks Rob Malda," she said, "them corn-fed Michigan floozies ain't been around much. Why everyone knows that a pecker is a whole lot bigger than that!
