According to Men's Health women can lose an orgasm almost while she's in the midst of having one. And one cause may be simply changing positions awkwardly. They've got a playbook for you that'll let you switch from one position to another "without ending up like a flesh pretzel" that you can use the next time you need to smoothly transition out of Reverse Cowgirl.

1. Fantasy vs. Reality:
Marge: Homer, is this how you pictured married life?
Homer: Yeah, pretty much, except we drove around in a van solving mysteries.
Things always seem to play out better in your head. Except in the case of threesomes.

2. Knowledge Needs to be Prioritized:
Homer: How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?
Sports stats, winning poker hands, what goes in a Gimlet? Stored. Her phone number? That's why God invented speed dial.

3. The Truth:
Homer: Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!
Fact: This is a universal truth.

4. Women:
Homer: A woman is a lot like a refrigerator. 6 feet tall, 300 pounds ... it makes ice.
Don't forget "provides food..."

5. Compassion for Your Fellow Man:
Homer: Well crying isn't going to help. Now, you can sit there feeling sorry for yourself or you can eat can after can of dog food until your tears smell enough like dog food until your dog comes back, or you can go out there and find your dog.
Bart: You're right.
[Gets up and leaves]
Homer: Rats. I almost had him eating dog food.
No matter how bad your buddy is feeling, you'd be remiss if you let an opportunity pass to screw with him while he's vulnerable.

Two popular stories came off the wire today. Each involved public nudity. And each resulted in very different public reaction.

One involved a "mysterious blonde" who stopped at a petrol station in Berlin to buy cigarettes. According to the Reuters report, the "tall, slender woman" got out of the passenger seat of a Ferrari "wearing nothing but a pair of golden stilettos and a thin gold bracelet." [Note to self: Keep saving for that Ferrari.]

Reuters noted the woman could have faced charges of creating a public disturbance if anyone had complained. Did anyone complain? Nope. Apparently none of them were even bothered. And the station employee was quoted as saying, "I wasn't surprised because she's come in naked before -- she's a very nice woman." And exactly the kind of regular customer I'd want in my shop.

Now jump to a story that appeared a day before. Reuters reported on three male tourists who enjoyed a little cycling along the River Danube in Serbia. Naked. As the day they were born. Apparently the local heat wave prompted the two Austrians and a German to strip down to their birthday suits and go for a little ride. ...There's more

Sin City is, for the most part, an "anything goes" town. You can get away with stuff there you would never dream of doing at home.

But the casino floor is a different story. They are vastly structured environments with a litany of unwritten rules. You won’t find them posted on any warning signs, but committing what a casino considers an “offense” will set you on the fast track to the exit door. Quite possibly headfirst. And airborne.

With ceiling cameras recording your every move, and security guards and pit bosses constantly on the lookout, I turned to the "Ultimate Las Vegas Insider", Steve Striker, to find out what could get you bounced. Or worse, blacklisted.

1 - Swearing at the Poker Table
Losing or getting a "Bad-Beat" at the poker table can be understandably frustrating, but dropping F-Bombs at other players, the casino staff, or even audibly to yourself will get you a royal flush out the door.

2 - Touching Anyone Else's Chips
That's even if the chips belong to your best friend, who is playing at the same table, and it's OK with him. The pit boss doesn't care. A move towards any chips other than your own is treated as intent to steal. And stealing, Mr. Ocean, is bad.

It's no revelation that we guys have a tough time understanding women. It's been the subject of dozens of "romantic comedies", gave Jim Belushi a longer career than he deserved, and filled enough books to reach to Mars and Venus and back. But when you hear some of the conversations women have when they don't think anyone's listening, you start to gain a little more insight.

The following are pieces of overheard conversation taken from the website, OverheardInNewYork.com, and its sister site, OverheardEverywhere.com. Besides being off the charts on the Unintentional Comedy Scale, they are, let's just say, illuminating...

Insight 1: Regardless of how true something may be, they will still be shocked and appalled at us for thinking it.
Hot southern girl #1: So, before I came up here my mom is like, "Be very careful around those northern boys, they think all southern girls just love to cook and fuck."
Hot southern girl #2: Oh my gosh, are you serious? They think that? That's so messed up!
Hot southern girl #1: I know!
Hot southern girl #2: But I really do love to cook... And fuck.
Hot southern girl #1: I know... Me too.
