You were playing Cricket. Cheerio! Painless childbirth My secret to painless childbirth is to not be anywhere near it while it’s happening. So far I’ve had a one hundred percent success rate.

Finding the Path to Spiritual Enlightenment I’m actually working on this one, even though the final product is still a long way off.
