Oh I love that kind of talk. I find the term "buttloads of money" most<br>
titillating. We should have a specific term for getting turned on by merely<br>
visualizing big curvaceous voluptuous piles of money. We could make sexbots<br>
who utter comments such as: Hey you big handsome carbon unit, I have some<br>
bedroom moves you will find most profitillating.<br>
<br>
Such as that. And Dr. Jill Stein's looks. Oh we will make a buttload of<br>
money. Pardon me, I need to... uh... take a shower...<br>
