...that weren't news enough, I also found out that Green Bay Packers quarterback Bret Favre shaved his legs for the upcoming season. These are real men, men who have been knocked unconscious by 300-ft. linebackers and married women who starred in sitcoms that they had to pretend were funny. I did some research and found a survey by Coherent Medical Group that shows that 54% of women find excessive body hair the most bothersome male trait, while only 25% chose love handles.

Jersey is short, tough and looking for a fight. That's because everyone wants our women. Sure, they pretend to want the California girl, all blond and Barbie and demurely flirtatious. But the Jersey girl, with her big hair and stone-washed jeans, takes Barbie's lunch money. If there were a New Jersey Barbie, her clothes would come off even faster than regular Barbie...
