Think of this as a competition with no prize.
I wan't you to go into your mobile/cell phone inbox and dig out an random interesting text and post it in the comments. No names of the sender needed, no context required. Just the text of the message verbatim.
That's all. Do it now. Even you lurkers. Come on now ..

Because it’s just so sexy when a man calls it a vagina.
