I thought at that moment, "I've been bred for millions upon millions of years to be the perfect screwing machine!"  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />  "I was born to fornicate!"Think about it...all those millions of ancestors managed to get together and do the dirty with each other.  And they lacked the benefit of deoderant and toothpaste!  How could I lose?!It probably helps that I'm funny and smart and tall and good looking and a good GM (that last one probably only helps a little).  But I know in my heart that I was bred for one reason...To breed the next generation of breeders.For this task I am supremely qualified and I'd like to think I've taken the job seriously. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Oh, and speaking of epiphanies, try this one on for size, fusangite:  You need to get back into politics.  Those guys score more ass than Kenny Chesney.</blockquote>
