    This sounds reasonable. From now on I'll be emailing my pals every time I don't get laid.

      It would be a lot more efficient if you just had a cron job that sent out an email every night.

    I hear horse urine cures cancer. I have fresh horse urine for only $9 per ounce.

    Many of the older anti-drinking crowd in these parts, and others, commonly refer to beer as horse's piss so I guess I will just stick with beer. Though its price has risen absurdly in my lifetime, it isn't quite to $9/oz yet.

    I have fresh horse urine for only $9 per ounce. Do you want to be cured, or not?

    Nay.
