There was an advert for the Kindle on telly last night
It featured, amongst other things, a photogenic couple taking a romantic stroll along the cliff top with a beautiful sunset behind them. And they were both ignoring said sunset and looking at the fucking Kindle. Which she was holding. The bloke was obviously only feigning interest in the hopes of a shag. He might not even have been her boyfriend, now I come to think of it, she certainly wasn't very interested in him. Maybe he just saw her walk past whilst waiting for a bus and thought "I fancy a bit of that". Could be her, could be the Kindle. Maybe he was gay, but with a voracious appetite for reading. Or electronic goods. Possibly a Kindle would have sold well on the black market of whichever coastal town they were strolling along the edge of. Hard to tell. Don't think there's much of a market for that in Milford on Sea, but Yarmouth would be another matter.

You'll notice certain differences; correct spelling, abject lack of creativity, not funny. I appear to have lost the ability to filter thoughts before they hit the screen, purple monkey dishwwasher.

hang on
so what you're saying here is if I buy a Kindle I'll get sex, right?

Yes and no
You'll get pestered for sex by the sort of men who watch out for women wandering past holding a Kindle.

But in your case, these men will be from Swansea.

I don't think men in swansea know how to read

Which narrows their intent down to two possibilities
a) stealing and then selling the Kindle to those who can read

b) slipping you a length
