Female Orgasms

I tend to agree with a comedian who once advised men not to be impressed with themselves if the woman they are having sex with has multiple orgasms.  It has more to do with her make up than anything you are doing to her.

I am inclined to agree.  At least it seems that some women are more inclined to have multiple orgasms than others.

Story of cities #29: Los Angeles and the 'great American streetcar scandal'

The last train on the last line of greater Los Angeles’ Pacific Electric streetcar network made its last run on April 9, 1961.

Between 1938 and 1950, one company purchased and took over the transit systems of more than 25 American cities. 

Their name, National City Lines, sounded innocuous enough, but the list of their investors included General Motors, the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, Standard Oil of California, Phillips Petroleum, Mack Trucks, and other companies who stood to benefit much more from a future running on gasoline and rubber than on electricity and rails. 

National City Lines acquired the Los Angeles Railway in 1945, and within 20 years diesel buses – or indeed private automobiles – would carry all the yellow cars’ former passengers. Does that strike you as a coincidence?

No Way - I'm Irish

A paralegal I know was working through a stack of medical records.  There was a section for types of exercise.  One of the exercise categories was "Run."

The answer provided by the patient appeared to say, "No Way, I'm Irish."  

Upon closer examination the entry was in fact, "No Way, I wish."
