Can you imagine? Thinking that you're alone in the privacy of your home, free to change your own oil when the mood strikes. And yet all that time some fifty-eight year old lady's watching.
It's creepy and not just a little sexy at the same time.

Here's a little song to help you get along.
It will see you through when you're feeling blue. And though it's not profound, when you're feeling down; sing this little tune and you'll feel better soon. You're not alone. Even though right now you're on your own.... |

But how can this be, a socialist paradise such as Japan does not have homeless.

I really love it when the homeless shame the rich and powerful.
In Dallas, there are/was a huge group of homeless that slept in the cold, on cardboard mats in a church parking lot, with the church's permission. The rich were very upset, because it was an eyesore, not because they were concerned about the homeless of course. |

A sentiment I can understand completely. Have you ever actually been near a homeless person? Their grooming leaves much to be desired.

Whenever I'm around the homeless I make sure and smoke a big cigar, generally a Cohiba or Davidoff. Helps mask the smell and make a generally unpleasant proposition a bit more bearable.
