Always text! It is the best way 4 U 2 get ur message across. Whether you&#8217;re telling your girlfriend about your <em>other<\/em> girlfriend (&#8220;<em>You know I will be announcing I have a partner. It is someone named Sarah who I&#8217;ve been involved with in the past<\/em>&#8220;) or telling her why she&#8217;s important to you (&#8220;<em>I still think of you when I need &#8230; um &#8230; stimulation<\/em>&#8220;) &#8211; a text is perfect for any occasion!<\/p>\n<p>2. Women like being used as campaign props. There is no greater compliment you can give a woman than letting her know you&#8217;re dating her because &#8220;<em>I had to have someone political<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>3. Rather than buying your mistress a birthday gift, let her know &#8220;<em>a long, long time ago about the (TTC) fare hike<\/em>&#8220;. Think of all the money she&#8217;ll save stockpiling tokens in advance!<\/p>\n<p>4. Show a woman how important she is to you &#8211; even after you tell her you can&#8217;t be seen in public together, all will be forgiven when you text her &#8220;<em>I still think of you when I need &#8230; um &#8230; stimulation<\/em>&#8220;. Other great compliments include: &#8220;<em>I like you because you&#8217;re smart and interesting. You&#8217;re also good-looking naked<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>5. Make it clear where you stand. Your live in girlfriend will appreciate your honesty when you text your other girlfriend: <em>&#8220;I am NOT marrying (Sarah)&#8221;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>6. Be sure to psych yourself up so that you are &#8220;ready&#8221; for any big date by doing push-ups and jumping jacks in your suit, and talking to yourself in the mirror. You&#8217;ll appear that much more confident.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"420\" height=\"255\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/nvzkjxSf9gg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/nvzkjxSf9gg&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"420\" height=\"255\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>OK, OK. Now that we&#8217;ve had our fun with Giambrone, what does it all mean? Personally, I&#8217;m torn. I question the wisdom of anyone who thinks David Miller &#8220;is like a god&#8221;, but I do appreciate Giambrone&#8217;s use of proper grammar in most of his text messages.<\/p>\n<p>Still, when the main knock on the guy is that he&#8217;s too immature to be mayor, this is more than a sex scandal.
