It is bucketing down outside, the summer holidays mean that you have been closeted with your loved one for longer than either of you might like and your mother-in-law is on the phone asking if you are going to her for Christmas. It is a recipe for tension and makes today, Aug 30, the day that most couples have arguments, it is claimed.
Relationship experts say that post-holiday depression, domestic chaos, financial strains and lack of sunshine contribute to rows. Paula Hall, a relationship psychotherapist, said: "By August 30 tensions have reached an all-time high, as couples realise their summer is over. This often manifests itself in bickering and needless arguments."

I'm kind of bummed that The Jesse Helms' thread was closed before I got the chance to suggest that all of those nutty broads he knows just need a brisk rogering. It *always* cures the crazies.

Just watch out for sand in the vagina. (Or, as we call it back home, "scratchy snatch".)

It's a reasonable question. I've often wondered why all my ex-girlfriends are uber-paranoid psychobitches who throw around restraining orders like candy and don't know how to take a joke and love their pets way too much.

It's a catchy tune! Practically writes itself:
Vagina Dentata
It's the teeth in the twat
Vagina Dentata
Where the cock get caught
It means no penis
For the rest of your days
It'll bite it off
Whilst you're getting off
Vagina dentata!

That didn't work at all. And this being the internet it's probably already some kind of well developed fetish.
