American woman Quote by Eric Weiner
““He tells me of one American woman, forty-five years old, who was able to conceive only after being blessed by the Holy Dildo. That’s what I call it. A fourteen-inch-long wooden phallus carved with impressive detail. Colorful pendants dangle off one end—the end that would be attached to a real man, if real men were endowed with fourteen-inch wooden penises. The abbot””
