Is numerous humorous? As long as it’s not numerous tumerous!

Faster Than A Bleeding Spullet

How is it that Lex and Seth can solve so many problems, so swiftly, so incompletely, so preposterously? Well, this week the problems poured in through all the social media: Twitter, Facebook, Buttbook, Arm Magazine, Toes Quarterly, and Guy Shouting Outside Lex’s Window. At least one of these is a lie. But that still puts us at a much better percentage than this year’s presidential candidates.

Your takeaway should be, Leth and Sex offer fast-acting relief targeted to your problem. Well, so far it’s been targeted to someone else’s problem, because you didn’t call or write in yet. But you can change all that! Just leave us a voice mail and we’ll solve your problem in two shakes of a lamb’s tail. And you don’t even have to mail us a lamb! We do it for ewe.
