- Does the phrase "beyond a shadow of a doubt" mean anything to you? If
- the jury has any doubt about the guilt, then they find the accused
- "not guilty". That does not mean the person didn't do it... all it
- means is there is not enough evidence to be certain the person is
- guilty.

-
- I thought she meant "are you sure you want to go see 'Home Alone'" or
- "are you sure that pizza is ok for dinner", etc... making too much of
- a deal about making sure she really wants to do everything, especially
- after she has already said it is ok.
-
- I would imagine that nearly all women like to asked if they want to
- have sex before the man inserts his penis.
