Very funny! Also quite interesting. Self esteem is a good thing, but this sure goes beyond that.

I rented Ali G from Netflix. It IS the best medicine. He is so outrageous. Don't mean to hijack the thread but I know we all need good "medicine".                  Ami

Of course the really funny thing is that confidence is usually right behind a good sense of humor and a butt like a 17 year old in the list of things women want in men.
Then when it shows up it's ridiculed.

Oh and BTW I'm too sexy for my shirt.

Of course you are, ((((((Mud))))))), of course you are...

Only a Very Shallow Woman would ridicule our Confident Mudster.
