Love the tagline...
I had heard you were a top notch debator; some say even a master...

Not worth the risk.

Okay, where do I buy stock in this company? Put me down for a grand. I’ll either lose it all or become a multi-millionaire.

“Master debater,” is an oldie but a goodie!

Low libido is said to be directly related to hormone levels. I don’t know why, but these days women are entering menopause at earlier ages than before.

Why would they need it? You'd think they'd give it to the ones who had the problem.

Well, nothing happens as far as female attention. That's the problem, you see.

Great. By the time I do get married, if ever, she'll be past that point entirely.

Never fear. There are ‘bio-identical’ hormones now. They aren’t cheap, but they’re worth every penny!

Up to 40% of women are thought to experience a lack of sex drive at some point in their lives.
