Shot In The Dark: Oy

Oy

According to Russian researchers, spanking is a regular miracle cure:

It may sound a bit kinky but everything from depression to alcoholism can be cured with a beating on the bare bottom, scientists claim.

Spanking is more effective than exercise at keeping the blues at bay, say Russian researchers who carried out tests on caning.

They recommend that people receive 30 weekly sessions of 60 of the best. High levels of pain make the body produce endorphins or 'happy chemicals' and this leads to feelings of euphoria.

Endorphins also boost the immune system, release sex hormones and reduce appetite.

In a related move, Phyllis Kahn has introduced a bill in the Minnesota House that would reclassify dominatrices as healthcare workers.

The plural of most words than end in -ix is -ices.

I was an English major. I know stuff.

Will Phyllis "Con" distribute literature on her new bill in our neighborhoods to help pass it?

I found an article stating she introduced a bill in Jan. 2003 to allow first cousins to marry:

Please let her get voted out at next election.
