 R#@> Z#@ Man:   "Dear, are you taking your birth control pills regularly?"
 R#@> Z#@ Woman: "Yes, dear."
 R#@> Z#@ Man:   "Prove it to me, my love?"
 R#@> Z#@ Woman: "Trust me, my darling...." (fingers crossed)

 R#@> Z#@ 'If a man is stupid enough to get trapped by a woman.....'
 R#@> Z#@ Get real!
 R#@> Z#@ ZED!

 R#@> Excuse me, ZED, I had assumed you were smart enough to realize that
 R#@> just because SHE isn't using birth control, the MAN could use a condom.
 R#@> Gee, you must come from one of those backwards areas of the country
 R#@> where they have no sex education!  While condoms are primarily for the

 Actually, even this area is teaching sex-ed (it wasn't taught when I was
 in school), but I am unimpressed with the, uh, more or less chicken-s**t

 R#@> prevention of disease, they also have a 70%+ effectivness when used

 70% is NOT good enough for birth control prevention by itself. Used
 with a female conraceptive, the effectiveness goes higher, yes. But
 a woman's choice of control is -usually- superior to a condom anyway,

 Nope. Not worth 'keeping'. Drop her? Reply coming...

 R#@> Offer to marry her if she will get an abortion.  Join the Navy and jump

 Lots of women refuse abortions.

 R#@> ship in some far away port.  Hold up a flashlight on a drak night and
 R#@> hitch hike with the first passing Alien Starship.  You have LOTS of
 R#@> options to get away from this coniving and manipulative Shrew....

 Fine. But can you ever come back without the possiblility of facing
 a paternity suit?
 ZED!
