While we understand your surprise at having developed a large pair of breasts with fully functioning mammary glands, we can assure you our researchers have found no conclusive link between your symptoms and consumption of Potomac River water, a beverage of the highest caliber. In addition, yes, we have read reports of intersexed fish but must say we find bass to be among the least credible species of the fish group. We see no profit in entertaining their case. We understand that your wife has had complaints as well, especially over the unwelcome forest of chest hair, but let us assure you: God could not have designed a body of water more richly suited for drinking than that of the Potomac.

You write that you feel lingering doubts over water quality in the Potomac River, and your feelings are completely understandable. The world can be confusing. So many of us develop the odd breast or ovum, and it's natural that we go looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment.

With its proximity to the nation's capital, its heady bouquet, and its rich amber color, this is river water for the true river-water connoisseur. As for your wife's prostate, if it causes her no discomfort, we recommend leaving it alone.
