THE EXTRA INCHES
Anyway, I had a moment like that today. I opened up my Hotmail account, and found the kind of email that you get maybe one email in twelve. A rare opportunity then, to be sure.
Addressed to my email address � which is an unusual spelling of my name, I was told directly that my name was �mrmarkreedcghyxyz�, and that I could �make her scream with an extra 1 to 3 inches�.
Now, I don�t know about you � far be for me to speak for anyone but myself � but I�ve never replied to any piece of unsolicited spam in my life. Not even when I had 1543 copies of the same mail on the same day.
Proof then, or another clich�, that if you throw enough spam, it won�t always stick.

SCREAMING INSIDE
An extra 1 to 3 inches of what? Though the thought of making her scream of an extra 1 to 3 inches gives my hyperactive imagination gland a mental image of something out of �Evil Dead 4 : The Extra Inches� � standing at the mountain, chopping it down with the edge of my hand �
And besides, those of us that are hung like a dormouse, know for a fact that size doesn�t matter. Wit, charm, and a good shirt will take much further than a surgically-enhanced banana stuck down your trousers.

THE MENTAL IMAGE
What type of person would I be if that was the only way I could attract women? That by the way is a rhetorical question � it answers itself. I�d be a sad man trying to prop up his collapsed ego with a pathetic string of shallow, meaningless encounters with people who only recognise parts of him instead of who he is : if there is anyone inside there underneath the artificial construct.
So I think it�s fair to say that if you�re going to indulge such things, the organ you should be working on is your brain. That�s the most erogenous zone there is, isn�t it? Use your brain.
