New Editor
Dombo Top 5
Due to prolonged inactivity, Karl Andreasson has been
fired as editor of Dombo. In his place, we have hired the
talented Leachim ben Rentsrof. Andreasson consistently
failed to meet his quota set out in the Dombo five-year
plan. His new address is: Karl Andreasson, Gulag 69,
Siberia. Comrade ben Rentsrof is planning to quadruple
the output of Andreasson !

Potties:
http://www.packinpotty.com
Tired of carrying around that big porcelain bowl ? Then
Banyan Industries offers the relief you've been looking for.
A toilet that folds up into a briefcase. Why has no-one
thought of that before ? And not only is it a must-have for
all commuters, but according to the manufacturers, it is
ideal for all those "disasters striking different parts of the
world". Isn't that just what you want after an earthquake
has demolished your town, ten thousand little briefcases
discreetly sitting around the countryside ? They also claim
that most of their sales come from "word of mouth"
recommendations, but my guess is that they are talking
out of their bottoms.

Bizarre E-mails
The following is yet another genuine (!) E-mail received
by Dombo editorial staff recently. (Note that this student’s
Swedish is worse than that of certain Professors ...)
on any check-list for the perfect man:
- Honest, honey, vacuum cleaning is my hobby !
- I insist that your mother come along on our camping trip!
- Of course you can buy that, baby ! After all, we can't take
our money with us when we go !
- If you don't buy another pair of shoes yourself, I'll do it
for you !
- You go back to sleep, honey. I'll go and feed the baby !
- I've never understood this fascination that some people
have with anal intercourse !
- Why don't we throw all booze out of the house ?
- Shouldn't you be shopping at the mall with your friends ?
- God, you're beautiful !
- Come here, you ! Let me hug and kiss and caress you !
- You're always so adorable at this time of the month !
- Why don't we go shopping instead of watching the ball
game and drinking beer ?
- No, I don't have to come every time we make love !
- Are you absolutely sure that there's not a single
household chore left that I could do ? Please !
- Of course I don't mind all the dents. After all, the car was
almost a year old already !
- Have you lost weight again ?

Dear Bob
Q: My husband wants to experience three-in-abed-sex with me and my sister.
A: Your husband is clearly devoted to you. He cannot get
enough of you, so he goes for the next best thing - your
sister. Far from being an issue, this will bring all of the
family together. Why not get some cousins involved? If
you are still apprehensive, then let him go with your
relatives, buy him a nice, expensive present, and cook him
a nice meal and don't mention this aspect of his behaviour.

Joke for Aussies
An Aussie tourist arrived in New Zealand, hired a car and
set off for the wilderness. On his way he saw a bloke
having sex with a sheep. Deeply horrified, he pulled up at
the nearest pub and ordered a straight Scotch. Just as he was
about to throw it back, he saw a bloke with one leg
masturbating furiously at the bar. "God!" the bloke cried,
"what the heck is going on here? I've been here one hour
and I've seen a bloke banging a sheep, and now some
bloke's spanking himself in the bar!" "Fair go, mate," the
bartender told him, "you can't expect a man with one leg to
catch a sheep."
