I also know (well, she’s a FOAF) a woman who makes a living writing (separately) pornography and books for kids under 5. When money runs short, she picks up a little extra writing the letters-to-the-editor in porn mags.

Mrs. Lokki is a Japanese girl with English as a second language.

The American taste for euphemisms and slang always amuses, puzzles, and pleases her. They’re a horse of a different color as she greatly likes to say.

That’s usually more fun to watch than the original joke was.

The answer?
