Vermont Country Store is selling What?!

For any of you who aren't familiar with the Vermont Country Store, it's a catalog company that sells homespun, practical items, specializing in old-fashioned, hard to get products.

They sell stuff like that dime store Evening in Paris perfume your mother used to wear, Cameo soap, those cute little felt-clad, plastic faced, Christmas elves that were so popular in the 60s, and like this:

So, as I'm eating my lunch and perusing the catalog that just came in the mail, I nearly choked on my left overs when I turned to THE PAGE at the back of the catalog with these items!

The catalog page also features a picture of the friendly face of the proprietor, Lyman Orton with this statement: "I initially offered these Intimate Solution products because I had the merchant's sense that many of you would rather buy them from us than run down to Sex World or visit some uncomfortable website. . . But--and here's the key--it's not about sex. It's about Aging well, about fully embracing all that life offers as we age."

Hmmmm, marketing genius or disaster?

You didn't really mean to say that, not around here anyway, did you?

Here comes the onslaught....

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

They're actually really great, but - sigh - it seems they don't have them anymore. I guess the - um - marital aids took over their page. I put some in at my office. They're plastic sheet deals with some foam sealed in. You staple them to the stair. When ice forms of them, you just stomp and it crumbles and falls off. You know, sonny, at my age, you don't want to fall and break a hip.

Why are many of those personal massagers quiet and discrete?
Do women like install them and go to meetings at work or something?

And "pinpoint accuracy"?
Do tell, what is that all about?
Don't they just, like, uhm, go in?

This thread seems like a good place for this contribution...

Quote:
 
A man and a woman were sitting beside each other in the first class section of an airplane.

The woman sneezed, took out a tissue, gently wiped her nose, then visibly shuddered for ten to fifteen seconds.

The man went back to his reading.

A few minutes later, the woman sneezed again, took a tissue, wiped her nose, then shuddered violently once more.

Assuming that the woman might have a cold, the man was still curious about the shuddering.

A few more minutes passed when the woman sneezed yet again. As before she took a tissue, wiped her nose, her body shaking even more than before.

Unable to restrain his curiosity, the man turned to the woman and said, I couldn't help but notice that you've sneezed three times, wiped your nose, and then shuddered violently. Are you OK?"

"I'm sorry if I disturbed you; I have a very rare medical condition. Whenever I sneeze, I have an orgasm."

The man, more than a bit embarrassed, was still curious. I have never heard of that condition before," he said. "Are you taking anything for it?

The woman nodded. "Pepper."

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D
