Thats it! I am getting an anteater and a giraffe! Before you think I am a sick freak.. here is my diabolical plan.

I will cut out their tongues and transplant them to my husband

I'm off to the zoo today, so I'll keep that in mind about the giraffes!

And don't forget, Istanbul was once Constantinople...

Dennis the Vizsla said...

Hmm, I guess Playboy's readers would rather have a playmate than a sweetheart ...

Hussy,
Are you wearing a bow made of hair today?

The Hussy Housewife said...

ScandyHOuseiwfe- Why yes..yes I am. Lady GAGA style! You want one???

Shawn said...

lol@dizz. THAT doesn't make you a sick freak at all...

Why does it take ANY water to make an automobile?

The Hussy Housewife said...

Dizz- yes yo are a freaky-deaky!

Suburbia steph- takes pics!!

Dennis- Very GOOD point. It all makes sense now.

Mike- I am assuming for when they are drilling out parts..the machines use lots of water. See a Hussy is smart :)

My tongue is freakishly long. Maybe my mother met a giraffe on one of her acid trips in the 60's?

WRONG on number 4.

Playboy's Playmate of the Month was originally called 'Target Practice.'

Jaime said...

"sweetheart of the month" has such a nice ring to it, don't you think?

dani c said...

Why can't my husband be an anteater ?

WhisperingWriter said...

I'm impressed with the 14 inch tongue.

Ketchup rocks. We do have some in our fridge. It's sitting beside its best friend Mustard.

Don said...

What's with #5? That's not interesting. Hell, I can stick my tongue down someone's throat much faster than that. That's before I shave it too.

Mike said...

If you combined #10 and #5, you'd probably have a very happy #4.

Just saying.

Riff Dog said...

So can I water my lawn with my car?

"Sweetheart of the Month" is so cute.

No one would ever look like a dirty perv if they touched themselves to something with that name.

dani c said...

Savananh said...

What the crap Jamie?! Where are you?!

Quirkyloon said...

Hussy? Oh Huuuuuuuuussy!

You, my dear, have won the blog lottery. Really! Go look at my blog! heh heh
