On repressing the urge to lift one's buttocks like a baboon in heat

Can you imagine doing the field research for this study?

In other words, the study set out to prove that women show off their asses like baboons in heat on fertile days (as measured in lap dancers' tips).

Their finding? Tips were lowest during menstruation.

According to the XX Factor at Slate.com, "the results have no meaning beyond the fact that contemporary human female lap dancers know g-strings and tampons are not a good combination."

My graduate school years would have been a lot more stimulating had I been assigned research like this for my fellowship.

Well, as I was saying to Bing when I was shoving my ass against her the other day, "Some days, I just need a little more attention than others...."
