Mental Cold Shower Top Ten Redux

Well now, apparently this topic is too disgusting for all but the most hardy of you; one being a reader who identifies herself as Sarah, who thinks the idea of Strom Thurmond having a kid under 30 is something sufficient to choke off her libido even quicker than being poleaxed. The other suggestion would be from bored voice actress Allison Lane, whose limbic system is suddenly frozen over by thoughts of Josh Hartnett, "and others of his ilk" (which I personally find odd because Josh is just so dreamy, not to mention his ilk! Oooh...ah, well, um...Never mind.)

Strange thing, too, given the biological makeup of our two commentors (aside from Marc and his deal with Dom Deluise in a tutu) is that I never really considered that girls would have the need to employ a mental cold shower. I suppose I always thought this task was covered by shopping.

In any event, The Possumblog Top Ten Mental Cold Shower list is now 2/5 of the way to completion.

UPDATE: Speaking of shopping, Possumblog's Land of Ten Thousand Loons Correspondent Toni Albani took a break from repairing her boat to send in this:

A Husband Shopping Center was opened where a woman could go to choose from among many men to be her husband. It was laid out in five floors, with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended up the floors.

There was, however, a catch. Once you opened the door to any floor, you must choose a man from that floor, and if you went up a floor, you couldn't go back down except to exit the building.

So, a couple of girl friends go to the shopping center to find husbands.

On the first floor, the sign on the door said 'These men have jobs and love kids.' The women read the sign and said, "Well, that's better than not having jobs, or not loving kids, but I wonder what's further up?" So up they go.

The second floor sign said 'These men have high paying jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking.' "Hmmm," say the women, "But, I wonder what's further up?"

The third floor sign read 'These men have high paying jobs, are extremely good looking, love kids and help with the housework.' "Wow," say the women, "very tempting. BUT, there's more further up!" And so again, they go up.

On the fourth floor, the sign read 'These men have high paying jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak. "Oh, mercy me. But just think...what must be awaiting us further on?"

So up to the fifth floor, they go. The sign on the door said 'This floor is just to prove that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping, exit is to the left, have a nice day.'

Thanks, Toni!
