Well, lets just say if this hadnt happened I might have taken matters into my own hands, said Natalie Newman. The Medical Unit has issued a warning to all PSL-19 SED/ICT volunteers against a possible ripple effect, and has advised them to not gather in groups of more than three lest tragedy strike again.

OUIDAH - Since the beginning they knew they were hot shit but it only snowballed as time continued. The SED/ICT volunteers have yet to let anyone forget that nobody in their program has ET-ed and that their APCD is the sexiest Beninese man on Earth. Moments before the beginning of their Early COS succession the group a final blowout. As usual, those not in SED/ICT felt left out and turned in early. A couple of EA volunteers nearly with it enough to be in SED/ICT, the last ones to leave the party alive, said the crowd was full of energy but nobody talked about anything besides how great SED is, was, and ever will be. Investigators assume the SEDocentrism made heads

bigger and bigger resulting in each brain bursting. Its like when someone vomits, others smell it and start heaving. This time though, as the coroner has confirmed the domino effect can be attributed to the pressure increase associated with an immediate soar in social status. For example when Ms. McColloms head exploded Ms. Miner realized shed moved up, by default, in the ranks of coolness. Mr. Dali, boyfriend of Miner, benefited as well, cool by association. Neither were equipped to deal with the immediate soar in social status and in turn their brains exploded. This tragedy has, surprisingly , not been met with an outpour of support from the other

Pahou volunteer, Garrett Hyzer, opened the first McDonalds in Benin today as a result of a groundbreaking PCPP. Titled Education Center for Entrepreneurs / Nutrition Center / Youth Recreation Area, the project was funded in record time. The opening ceremony was accompanied by a womens groupement who honored the first chicken McNuggets with a fine rendition of the Beninese chicken dance. This McDonalds franchise is completely staffed and supplied by local women and uses only renewable or recyclable byproducts like banana leaf wrappers, tree bark, and tires. It is rumored that his plump, red tomatoes are grown in the finest human excrement available. Garrett sees growth potential for his franchise, and is threatening to take over Cotonou, even as Cotonou takes over Pahou. Watch out Steers!

When asked what motivated her to develop such a seat, Shayne declined a response, but sources say that a personal and traumatic experience may have led her on this venture. Her business strategy is simple: she plans to use her new beau as bait to lure white women to trade shows where she will unveil the new gelatinous mold seat, patented as the punani protector.

Seeing that her village was not even on the map, Erin Sillin has launched a new plan to draw visitors and national attention to Ago something. After much debate and a few under-the-table bribes, Erin convinced the mayor and other authorities to change the town name to mirror one of her more successful projects, and thus Ago-whooseywhatsit will henceforth be known as Pooville. The town plans to build a new goudron to increase access to the village, which will feature stateof-the art latrines or poo-places. After arriving in Pooville, visitors can visit the Pooblic gardens, shop at Poo Poo Palace Mall, or while away the afternoon at the rst amusement park in Benin, Poo Land. Disney may have a run for their money, as competition will surely spike once children throw o their stupid mouse ears and ock to see the Poo Poo Pony.

Tips for gettin it on without word gettin out
stake in not outing you. Ive found food is a pretty good bribe. Now the challenge: a grandslam! Realize that youre in a whole new ball game. No disrespect but PC girls are just as, actually more hard up than PC guys (save the smart ones who date outside of the PC community). Its certain that you had trouble with the ladies in the States, or else you wouldnt be volunteering: pretty people dont have to volunteer. Since these girls are easy but your not good with girls heres a quick review: 1. Put your arm around her. 2. Smile with that You couldnt be more beautiful look in your eye. 3. Squeeze a little tighter when you laugh. 4. Invite her to a more private place.
This is the bi$est issue for PCVs; even you dolts that watch Star Trek and dont know anything about sports. Nothing is private in PC! This is why a clean image is imperative. Your image makes her feel safe to go to a private place because nothings going to happen because nothing ever happens with this guy. 5. Kiss her.
WHOA! Somethings happening, she thinks, and its special because nothing ever happens with this guy. 6. Do your thing. Alright, you can treat your new found success like A) a JV basketballer and boast to your boys of your latest conquest or B) you could keep it quiet. Which do you think is a better way of ensuring future tang? If you picked A the good news is you wont have to worry about any pregnancy scares anytime soon, I hope you have a two year supply of lotion.

Odds are if youre a guy in Benin you should be getting action. Those are just the odds. Why then, are my friends complaining about the dry season (not chaleur)? First, does anyone like sloppy seconds? We all agree no. You might not be that opposed to them but you sure as hell dont like em. Heres a secret: girls hate em. So, if youre going to be successful youve got to maintain a clean, sparkling, immaculate image. I cannot stress the importance of keeping a low prole. People have got to think you never leave post. Your postmate also has to be sly and most importantly have a personal

IF I DIE BEFORE I WAKE I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE... Id already said goodbye to my family and friends that I was nally ready to have the mickey friends, just in case. Now, I sit wearing a little more taken out of me. than with what I came into this world. My heart races under the hospital green smock. Its not everyday you get something this delicate removed. Over the past couple of months Ive been coming to terms with my diagnosis. I remember being so terribly embarrassed before during the diagnosis process. Id sit in the med unit TV room, people would come in and ask me what I was in for. Tears welled in my eyes, I was torn. They were asking me to disclose more than I wanted or to lie to them. Lie! I chose halftruth responding with, Were still trying to gure it out. Even this answer made me feel like an outcast. God, why couldnt I have just had schisto? I felt all alone. Then, Anne said to everyone at All Vol,its alright to take the mickey out of someone, you just have to be careful. That put me at ease and afterwards I told only my closest TUCKER TRANSFERS, VOLUNTEERS VOMIT went down alright, but an hour later I began vomiting and wondering if I could go on.

A distinct drop in volunteer productivity across sectors was realized in the quarters following Gabes departure. The law of cause and eect proven yet again but, can PC Benin handle the equal and opposite reaction?

FLAVORED CONDOMS
Strawberry (Pink)

EDITION PSL VOLUME 18

Delightful memories of Strawberry Shortcake and Strawberry Sundaes might draw you initially to this sweet avor. The delectable fruit overtones and pleasing pinkish hue of the condom surface will make you stay. That is if you can stand the somewhat sour, articial and non-long-lasting taste that is delivered. It certainly sme!s berryish! I! take the tip. CL: 2/5 B: 2.5/5 M: 4/5 L: 3/5
Banana (Yellow)

thinking of in a situation where these would come in handy! CL: 0/5 B: .5/5 M: 1/5 L: 0/5
Chocolate (Black)

Reviewed at last

Unlike vanilla, chocolate is a avor that can stand on its own two feet. With memories of Hersheys chocolate milk, can you really go wrong with a avor like this? Once youve gone black... CL: 4.5/5 B: 4.5/5 M: 4/5 L:4/5
Grape (Purple)

The more self-concious of us might be tempted to choose this In continual pursuit of the truth avor, however the reviewers we sought out each of the avors, were nearly unanimous in agreement that this avor did traveling far and wide across not live up to its potential at all. Benin; from the deep south where we discovered the mint This is a nice toilet bowl color, scent: avor, to the far north where mouth wash. vanilla and chocolate blossom. CL: 1/5 B: 1/5 M: 3/5 L: 2/5 With help from guest reviewers Chestie LaRue, Bambi and Mimi, Vanilla (Blue) you can go forth armed with the Ice cream. Is there anything else knowledge and power of avor that is vanilla avored? And selection. honestly, who even really LIKES Because of the larger number of reviewers, comments could not be easily attributed. Please note all opinions are completely biased. If you dont agree with us youre probably wrong. vanilla? I mean, sure we tolerate it alone... but vanilla is a base avor. A avor to be augmented with chocolate bits, orange popsicles, almost anything BUT wang. Suce to say the reviews on this avor were negative. This color blue makes me think of a baby boy, not what I want to be

As part of our standard issue medical kits, Peace Corps graciously provided us with more than the standard issue condom. Not content with the simple LifeStyles (or for variety the LifeStyles Xtra Pleasure) they took it one step further. Thats right: avors. In their commitment to us and our sexual safety we were given a plethora of pleasure protectors, a cornucopia of condoms, a dowry of dong sarongs, a stful of avors. No one knows exactly what sparked their appearance... Perhaps the medical sta thought they knew something about PSL-18, or perhaps they were just on sale. The world may never know.

Ignoring the obvious phallic connotations of this fruit inspired avor was dicult. Banana avor is possibly the most widely divided review condom. Our reviewers either liked it a lot, or didnt like it at all. Im very satised with banana CL: 4/5 B: 4/5 M: 2/5 L: 1/5
Mint (Green)

Grape is another one of those avors that like licorice is either hated with passion or loved with the same. The pretty color and chewing-gum reminiscent avor will take you back. It sme!s like candy... Big League Chew maybe CL: 3/5 B: 3/5 M: 4/5 L: 1/5
Cola (Latex)

All of these childhood memories bundled up in little plastic packages are actually somewhat disturbing. Cola avor is derived from Kola nuts, which are readily available here in Benin. They are high in caeine and are a mild hallucinogen. Sounds like the perfect formula for a condom. This is the one I feel most warmly about performing on CL: 4/5 B: 4.5/5 M: 2/5 L: 2/5
Conclusion

Top three avors for each reviewer were as follows: CL: Chocolate, Cola, Banana B: Chocolate, Cola, Banana M: Strawberry, Grape, Chocolate L: Chocolate, Strawberry, Cola
