Earl continues slowly sipping his beer, then thoughtfully says, "You better think it over, Bob.  Women like that are hard to find." … [Continue reading...]

In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot.  And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg.  Indeed, she was often called Amazon Dot Com.
