"...so she is all like 'If you take any more naked pictures of me I'm dumping you.' So I got a hiptop and now she doesn't even realize that I have a camera with me all the time - she just thinks I am always checking my email. Plus, I can send the pics to my website instantly from wherever I am, instead of having to wait until I get home. In fact, we are on a camping trip as I write this! Oops, gotta go."

He vowed to ask one of them the next day, but, as always, he never did.
