Where was this course when I was in engineering school?
Computer geeks learn to flirt
BERLIN (Reuters) – Even the most quirky of computer nerds can learn to flirt with finesse thanks to a new "flirting course" being offered to budding IT engineers at Potsdam University south of Berlin.
The 440 students enrolled in the master's degree course will learn how to write flirtatious text messages and emails, impress people at parties and cope with rejection.
Philip von Senftleben, an author and radio presenter who will teach the course, summed up his job as teaching how to "get someone else's heart beating fast while yours stays calm."
The course, which starts next Monday, is part of the social skills section of the IT course and is designed to ease entry into the world of work. Students also learn body language, public-speaking, stress management and presentation skills.
"We want to prepare our students with the social skills needed to succeed both in their private life and their work life," said Hans-Joachim Allgaier, a spokesman for the institute at Potsdam University where the course is being offered.

Some one sign "Cuter" Ken up, right away! 
Never judge a man by the size of his penis, he will do that quite well on his own.
Elephants and Asses ...
Screwing the masses!
In other words, politics as usual!
As long as it's living, legal and human, have fun with it! |

You know, I thought I would make it through this topic unscathed. I stand corrected. Thanks, geezer. 
Seriously though....that would probably help - we Grad students kind of just east, sleep, and work...

And it's this Phoenix |

Aww, twerp.. it was too easy. But, you know, it's only because I love ya like a little brother.  Just looking out for your best interests, after all. Don't worry, I probably would join you.  Getting out of practice myself...

Hey Cuter Ken!
Nah, no suck luck at all with that, you hottie you!!  So, since you're already out there cruising for compliments, let me "scath" you some more, just to keep you happily on center-stage!
If this deal to trade each other's Clone-a-Willy goes through (see Shout Box), I'm eagerly putting you at the very top of my "want" list.

Hey Drey!
So,-- you see what I mean about being one big lovable flirt??
Oh, but one more thing. If I were you, even though his halo has become slightly beat-up and a bit tarnished, and his wings have been thoroughly clipped, I'd definitely save that innocent  disguise for Cuter Ken!!
I mean, be real,-- we all know YOU completely lost YOUR halo a very LONG TIME ago!!

You're right Rick. That ol' thing was so busted up, rusted and dented, I had to get rid of it!

I thought you were just propping the old thing up on those horns, geezer.
And what are you talking about, Rick? I would neeeever flirt here.

Awwwww, Cuter Ken!
Now what are YOU talking about??
That coy little tease of a commnent was perfectly "on cue" flirtatious, as was the sly one about Drey propping up his old rusty, busted up thing on his horns!!
So btw, in case you hadn't noticed, you just "innocently" dinged yet another dent or two in that tarnished halo of yours with all that cuteness!
