  1. Juanita She is the restless river
    running through my veins
    She rides without the reins–
    her name’s Juanita
    She lives in the heart of every
    woman in the world
    Within the reach of every girl
    who wants to meet her

    (She’s gonna be ridin’ through)
    Her name’s Juanita
    (She’s gonna be ridiin’ free) She’s ridin’ free
    (She’s gonna be inside of you, gonna be
    inside of me) She’s inside of you
    and inside of me, yeah

    [Chorus:]
    Oh, go with her–flow with her
    Dream with her–scream with her
    Let her take over, or just get to know her
    Be everything you can be
    If you can find her and free her
    Juanita will unchain your heart

    When someone tries to take
    away the freedom of your choice
    To take away your voice–
    that’s when you need her
    She’s there if you dare to give
    your broken wings a try
    C’mon and take a leap and fly,
    and you can be her

    (She’s gonna be ridin’ through) Oh, Juanita
    (She’s gonna be ridin’ free) Ridin’ free
    (She’s gonna be a part of you, gonna be a
    part of me) She’s a part of you and a part
    of me, yeah

    [Repeat Chorus]

    Oh, go with her–flow with her
    Dream with her–scream with her
    Let her take over, or just get to know her
    Be everything you can be

    [Repeat Chorus]

  2. Yes, Biff. I hang out with Black people.

    One of my ‘friends’ calls me ‘Pookie’.
    They’ve given me the name Shaquana, Qui Qui for short.

    I was at a party last night hanging out with my ‘African American friends’. You should have heard what we were saying. I can get away with a lot, you know, being white and all.

    THL – I used to know a stand-up comedian who’s act consisted of taking a phone on stage with him and make crank calls(the phone was hooked up to the sound system, so the audience can hear the crankie?)

    I found it boring.

  3. DIBS;

    Why are you asking about my money???

    Anyway, I’m doing alright. I have alot of money in the market,so I’ve taken a hit. However, all my losses are on paper. I’m not leveraged, and I don’t need to touch this money for a long time, so I don’t lose sleep at night – I have faith in the market long-term. I pick my own individual stocks, so I don’t worry about a “Madoff-type meltdown”.

    My favorite play at this point is Masco. They are the largest supplier of fixtures and cabinets for new home construction and remodeling. Obviously they’ve been beat up. However, they have great brands, they are in decent shape financially and they are paying a good dividend. Check them out. It’s a good way to play the inevitable recovery in the housing market.

  4. That IS Hilarious! I don’t know what’s sadder though, that the woman actually did examine herself or that the man making prank calls was 49 yrs. old. Who would do that???!?!?!?

    Either way, funny stuff.

  5. Did anyone see this on Gothamist.com? It made my day. Hilarious.

    Rectal Exam Prank Phone Caller Arrested
    Whatever happened to “Is your refrigerator running”? A prank phone caller who convinced a woman to give herself a rectal exam was arrested and charged with second-degree aggravated harassment. The Staten Island Advance explains 49-year-old construction worker John Brady allegedly admitted he “would go through the phone book and pick random numbers and make telephone calls.” Claiming to be from a doctor’s office, Brady would then (allegedly) tell the person to perform a rectal exam while staying on the phone with him. One woman realized after her self-exam that the caller “did not represent a medical establishment” and the authorities tracked Brady down. The Advance says Brady, who faces up to a year in jail if convicted, has been arrested for previous harassing phone calls “but it’s not clear if he’s accused of pulling the same prank during those calls as well.”
