Since Boris is on a well-deserved vacation, I’m taking care of his edgy and funny weekly series Mischievous Monday Mornings.

Jack Thorogood came across this sign-up form that kind of caught him off guard. Start reading the form and image what you would answer. Let us know in the comments and feel free to make up another few options besides the 3 current ones. Sex? Yes! Done!
I can image the smallest Matryoshka containing a USB stick with some important files on it. Don’t know what else to say about this except that I want it:
