    It's a prickly subject but they're semen to have everything covered so I'll reservoir judgment until I hear the complaint.

    1. Suthenboy   12 years ago

      Boooo.

      1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

        Didn't mean to rubber you the wrong way; I was jizz trying to give some pleasure with my joke. Maybe I did roll it on wrong but I can take the ribbing so be as hard on me as you need. It's permissible.

        (There are seven, ranging from obvious to impossible.)

          Don't forget your name; that makes 8 or 9.

    She makes COLD DRINKKKKS for you?!? OMG!

    If borrowing some ice to make a cold drink for her husband is the height of martial pleasure in Pakistan, wives must be horrible. Or maybe beautiful women don't make cold drinks for anyone. Which is an odd stereotype. But condoms fix that.

    "Damn, girl... make me some iced tea and I'll sex you up right."

    "No! Go get a strawberry-flavored condom first! I can taste things with my Pakipussy!"

    1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

      Pakipussy was my second favorite Bollywood Bond film.

      martial pleasure

      Love according to regulation.

      1. SugarFree   12 years ago

        Actually, it's love with a curfew. The 3rd hottest kind of love.

    3. Dr. Frankenstein   12 years ago

      "If borrowing some ice to make a cold drink for her husband is the height of martial pleasure in Pakistan, wives must be horrible."

      Or they live in a backward country where they can't go to the freezer in their kitchen to get ice and it's actually a big deal to get ice.

  4. db   12 years ago

    Yep, nothing beats the old Karachi Tickler.

  5. Rich   12 years ago

    "a conservative, fiercely patriarchal society where education and awareness about sex is abysmal."

    However, they know enough about sex to overtake Indonesia as the largest Muslim country in the world.
