The following e-mail was received from a certain someone in my life. He found it tremendously funny. Needless to say, I felt a rebuttal was in order.

So what do you think, guys and gals? I’m sure there are one or two course changes you’d like to suggest. 🙂

Oh, my wife could definitely take classes 6,7& 9…. I need classes 6 & 10.
Very funny. E-high 5 for your husband 🙂
Number 12 made me laugh far too loudly for work. 😀 And reminded me of The Man Cold skit, which I am linking here in case you haven’t seen it.
How about:
Class 15
Acing That First Date
When Not To Talk About Porn, Your Gymnast Ex, or “Mr. Pointy”.
My sister-in-law’s long-term boyfriend has a gymnast ex — a girl referred to solely as “bangs” (for her hair, TYVM)… nothing mentioned about her flexibility attributes 😉
Bane, ha! I can tell you, he was pretty keen to share these gems with me. We’ll see if the feeling’s reciprocated. 😉
Amy, hahaha! I haven’t seen that link. Brilliant. Also, somehow in my thesaurus of willie names, “Mr. Pointy” hasn’t come up. I’ll have to save that for a particularly tender moment. 🙂
Way too funny. Printing these off so my wife can read them. Appreciate you sharing.
Glad you enjoyed them, stamperdad. 🙂 I know they made me laugh.
Both sets of classes were freakin’ hilarious… and sadly, sorta true. I definitely need Classes 6 and 10, and Dan could perhaps benefit from Classes 7, 12, and 13. But don’t tell him I said that… or he might accuse me of needing #8.
Hahaha, Laura. My lips are sealed. I’m personally waiting for the fallout should my husband decided to read this list. 😮 Perhaps I should have thought of that before I hit “publish”.
