    We held a vote whilst you weren't here and almost all of us decided that you were a premium member. Some even suggested the premier member, but personally I think that is a little over the top.

    The main problem here is that MEMBER is a euphemism for PENIS.

                      I guess that was the other way round.

                          If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

                            The main problem here is that MEMBER is a euphemism for PENIS.

                              Reminds me of a party the sales team organised for themselves many years ago in SA at a form i worked for. They had their meal and lots of booze and then came back to the office late Friday and started to work their way through the booze in our office pub. The word got around (Monday morning) that as the evening wound down and some of their team made their way home, the ones remaining phoned for some escorts to come to the company; paid for on a company credit card. The MD went ballistic (possibly because he wasn't there himself) and he threw the book at the sales manager. when the credit card statement arrived, it showed the escorts listed under the category MEAT. The sales manager was forced to refund the money.
