Why do men have nipples?
"Hundreds of Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini,"

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050803/od_nm/leisure_nipples_dc

Chattering teeth is one way the body tries to generate heat.

When the body gets too cold, the area of the brain called the hypothalamus alerts the rest of the body to begin warming up. Shivering, the rapid muscle movement that generates heat, then begins. Teeth chattering represents localized shivering.

And if you're ever bitten by a poisonous snake, sucking at the bite to remove the poison, as often shown in the movies and on TV is not only ineffective, but could lead to an infection.

Instead, the bite should be washed with soap and water and immobilized. The bitten area should also be kept lower than the heart. Medical help should be sought immediately.

While only females have mammary glands, we all start out in a similar way in the embryo, the authors explain. The embryo follows a female template until about six weeks, when the male sex chromosome kicks in.

12. Can't you take the bus or something?
I'm a busy girl.

Have you ever had your nipples coated in chocolate and then licked/sucked clean? I'm just sayin'.

13. Another important question
WHY THE FUCK AM I DRINKING A MARTINI??

What, do I think I am freakin' Dean Martin or something?

Did I only date girls with "Friends" haircuts in the 90's?

Do I have a mind of my own?

14. You're having a Martini this early in the day?
I usually wait until 9 am. You're a lush, bud.

24. Bourbon on the gums
No not really (of course) but the Mockingbird/diamond ring song does seem to be a hit... now if I can only remember some of the other words.

I AM cracking myself up with some of the lyrics I am making up in that song. See and people said listening to REM would never pay off.

26. "Porcupine"
I keep going back to "Porcupine"

The baby gives me the funniest look when I ad lib. I know it isn't cause and effect but she does give me that "You are so full of s**t" look several times when I do it.

Now would you like to see the slideshow of her first week?

27. Ah...first time parents
I'm the youngest in my family. The only reason there are ANY pictures at all is because I'm the only girl.
