"The president of a California firm that sells airplane parts and is active in the local Rotary Club … " Yeah, how many of them do you think exist? Well world, he just bought 6 bottles, he must be tiny! I wouldnt be surprised if he shot himself! :crazy: ---

> Among the people who responded in July to Amazing’s spam, which bore the subject line, “Make your penis HUGE,” was the manager of a $6 billion mutual fund, who ordered two bottles of Pinacle to be shipped to his Park Avenue office in New York City. A six foot Afghani with diabetes, who is the son of a powerful construction company owner in Cairo.
