Safe-sex messages to cell phones

I want $2 million to do something stupid, in fact I'll spend the rest of the day coming up with an idea. Where is the grant form? How about a grant to study easy ways to get grant money? $2 million would put more than a few nurses through collage!

Beach Brat......It's spelled college...not collage! Besides safe sex is important! Have you ever hear of AIDS or STD's?

Coalminer...the correct word for your sentence is heard....not hear! LMAO

We can make a pager like device that has a leveler in it. Ant time it goes vertical it says " wrap that rascal"

Natchez, you should capitalize the first word of your post (sentence) and perhaps use a semicolon (;) to separate your clauses. Grammar day on the AC comments pages is always a blast!

I agree with Beach Brat. That's all I need is an unsolicited call on behalf of "National Institutes of Health," telling me to practice safe-sex. If I want safe-sex I'll do it solo.

SIGHER

Geez, pofwe, I sure hope you want it! lol! I also agree with Beach Brat; put nurses through school so they can teach these young women, not a damn cell phone. I can see the headlines now, 'Car Crash Kills/Maims Several Young Women Who Were Trying to Read Their "Safe Sex" Text'. What a waste of money!

Hey Rufus, what is "ant time"?

Are they gonna pick up the tab for texting this to phones?
