Healthy

Yes

Upon my return from Amsterdam I went straight to my manicurist.
I asked for a manicure and a pedicure at the same time.
The lady who was working on my hands asked: “Do you want massage as well?"

As a matter of principle I always say “yes”.

The difference between massage and torture was almost indistinguishable.
But I comforted myself with the thought: it’s healthy.

They say sex is healthy too, but you do not need to endure a hand job by a former German president (see this week’s Humo). Please do not lower yourself that much. Please.

You should have been voting instead. That's what I call healthy. Nothing can beat the feeling you have when you coloured the red dot.
BTW Verdonk really needed your support.

Also former German presidents deserve pleasure.

I married my masseuse. Smart choice.
