Where are these "Nasty Ho's" that you speak of? This dry spell has gone on so long that even knotholes in fences are starting to look good.

Perhaps in the eyes of the overlords, or perhaps evolution, STDs are a "feature not a bug" situation, a form population control. Reducing numbers through the attempt to increase numbers. I wonder if we should start including a Trojan constant in our population growth and decay models. Combined with the social network clusterfuck [slashdot.org], perhaps we need a digital vaccine. Hope your not allergic to PCillin [trendmicro.com].

While on this line of thought, I would liken using Norton to wearing 8 condoms, all which having been poked with a needle, and Spybot Search & Destroy being the "Pull-Out" contraceptive method, and disconnecting from the internet altogether being like a hysterectomy. Unfortunately, we can't forget Live OneCare, which is like wrapping it with toilet paper, drinking a fifth of tequila, taking two viagras, and then wandering around Mexico City.

What was my point again?

I wholeheartedly agree.
As a Slashdot reader, I feel I am uniquely situated to speak about abstinence, because unlike all those hypocritical politicians, I obviously practice what I preach. In my experience the best way to avoid getting gonorrhea is to live in your mother's basement and play World of Warcraft.
There's only one thing you have to be careful about: you mustn't let your mother come down there. After a while you get pretty desperate.

A guy catches a STD. He goes to MD and doc prescribes him "yogurt therapy" - he is to dip his dick into yogurt for 15 minutes twice a day and additionally, after every sexual intercourse. One day, he does a prostitute. After they are done, he sits on the edge of bed, pours a glass of yogurt and starts his procedure. She looks in disbelief and says: "You learn something new each day. I've been in the business for ten years and I find out just now that it's refilled like a fountain pen!"
