Bwahahaha!!
I don’t blame those girls in the least.
Jill says
Oh JES, I almost fell off my chair from laughing so hard. That is CLASSIC. Thank you!

Awesome! Am now stealing it.

Vicariously satisfying. Could never get away with it in my prim and proper work environment however.

brudder: Amazing, isn’t it — that a culture with no roots in capitalism has become so ingenious at inventing new ways to make money! (And Jill, who I believe is located in California, is in the ideal place to introduce new trends to American consumers.)

My own reCaptcha of the moment can’t possibly refer to anything in real life: need chastity.
