We're Back... and it's "Underwear Day!"
 
7:20: Senator Rick Santorum: It Takes a Family: Conservatism and Common Good.
 
7:40: Bear's Training Camp Report with Zach Zaidman
 
THE TEST:
I was a very happy person.  My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating
for over a year, and so we decided to get married.

There was only one little thing bothering me...It was her beautiful
younger sister.  My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very
tight miniskirts, and generally was bra-less.  She would regularly bend
down when she was near me.  It had to be deliberate.

One day her "little" sister called and asked me to come over to check
the wedding invitations.  She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered
to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't
overcome. She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once
before I got married and committed my life to her sister.

Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word.  She said, "I'm
going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just
come up and get me."

I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs.
When she reached the top she pulled off her panties and threw them down
the stairs at me. I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a
beeline straight to the front door. I opened the door, and headed
straight towards my car.

Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all
clapping!  With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me and said,
"We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask
for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family."

And the moral of this story is: Always keep your condoms in your car.
