POE Questions.

Can we get on with the girls locker room talk? Personally, I'm tired of blurry hidden webcams and would welcome the "been there, done that" experience brought up by Slim.

Do girls really towel whip each other? Are the showers really that steamy and constantly running even though no one is using them?

What about the ugly side of the equation? Do girls stand around and scratch themselves, and make disgusting sounds while cursing and making dirty jokes? Slim, what do you say, having been there?

Dear friends:

Stop arguing, please. What we are dealing here is very low statistics! In order to claim something on the order of 2% we need at least 2000 entries. We know about few ... and those are with a huge statistical and systematic uncertainty. I will have no problem proving you one way or another.

When you take your medicine, remember that out of 20 people it was tested on, 10 responded positively, 5 responded positively to placebo and 5 are uncertain

Now, toss your coin! Assume it landed 10 times on the same side. What are the chances it lands on the same side 11th time? Still only 50%.

Need more examples?

To the original question - I can add that a IO called me with questions when my niece was crossing the border few years back. Does this mean that IO will definitely call you if there are questions? Not at all as I explained above. Will a brief letter explaining the situation and giving your cell phone number clearly visible hurt? You will be the judge.

There is the flip side as well. While AKGuy is right about them towel whipping and steamy showers, there is the dirty underbelly that puts "gross" to a whole new level for most of us men folks. Monthly cycles, yeast infections, UTIs - all things we guys could never deal with, especially on such a "regular" basis - are dealt with in stride. Couple that with things like unwanted hair removal, hair additions to various parts, camouflaging and/or painting of things - pretty much anything that takes place in the restroom other than the aforementioned steamy showers, and you're in a whole new world.

And let's not forget about the words exchanged. As we've all seen in the movies, there is the "he's so dreamy" element but then there's also the "hey, check this out. Does that look like herpes?" side as well.

While I made reference to the chit chat here in relation to the constant nagging, bickering and just plain petty arguing that's inherent to a group of women, I left out the towel whipping and steamy showers because I'm just not seeing that sort of thing here in our forum. I'm walking in to claim the throne with a brand new copy of Maxim, sitting down all peaceful and ready to relax and conduct my man business when I happen to glance over and see a bloody tampon in the garbage can.

Thanks guys. You've ruined my man moment.
