    “Why Tongue Kissing a Dude Doesn’t Mean You’re Gay!”

    - That topic, my friend, could work extremely well as a self-help book. In fact, I’m pretty sure this is exactly the type of thing that gets Random House chomping at the bit. You write it, and I’ll help you get it published. I smell a best-seller.

    I say we join together and boycott Men’s Health Magazine. They clearly wouldn’t know a good idea if it shot them in the face.

    I’ve never read that magazine, and if articles like these are getting rejected, I can’t see why I would start now.

    I can’t believe the junk exercises didn’t make it. I’m extremely self-conscious about the musculature of my penis and dick-ups just don’t get it done.

    Can you send me those 79 places? I keep getting caught in my neighbor’s Little Tykes Playhouse.
