What in the world?

And are you actually privy to the erectile dysfunction status of an 80 year-old Persian? That's fucking weird, dude.

I'm not sure Western leaders really want to be talking about young virgins these days, anyway...

But if I somehow wind up martyred for Islam, no virgins for me please. Give me a few girls who know what they're doing! That seems like it would be a much better reward.

When snarky, I assume the 72 virgins are all 50+ year old men that are gay but haven't been tops.

Great way to see smiles turn upside down.
