I love the way the papers dutifuly carry the Prosecutions line...- Bryant can pay off the alleged victim to get out of this. Not true. It is now a matter for the courts and beyond the control of the alleged victim, even if she wanted to call it all off.

And exactly how far will they get if she refuses to testify, or intimates that she can't rememeber too well?

I have to quickly cut the volume on the radio when they play the end of Who Are You? and I have kiddos with me. The spouse loves the Who and it is required for long car trips.

[Texan5]

Oh, yes! I would even pay to see that-it would make my day for certain.

[secret garden]

I read that last night and it sounds like he has been listening to our conversations. ;) That article is worth forwarding to many.

[Slip18]

Another ROTFLMAO. I had forgotten that line.

A husband and wife were in their back yard, and he was noticing her expanding backside. He commented, "Boy, your a$$ is getting big.almost as big as the gas grill here." She angrily stomped across the yard, and he followed saying, "Yep, that thing is getting huge." At this, the wife retreated to the far side of the yard. Soon he approached with a tape measure, acquired the width, and exclaimed, "It IS as big as the gas grill!"

Later that night when they were in bed, the husband started making moves on his wife. She just turned away. "C'mon, honey," he said, "what's wrong?"

Her cold reply was, "I'm not firing up this grill for just one little weiner!"
