The PayPhrase system took the opportunity to comment on his private parts, and generated the phrase <strong>"Gil's Splendid Balls"</strong> for him.</p>
<p>This phrase does, at least, have the benefit of being easy to remember.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>@<a href="#c16439635" rel="nofollow">Eyebrows McGee (now with more baby!)</a>: My husband and I just logged into his Amazon account and looked at all the suggested phrases, and he must secretly be a gay sailor. There is no other explanation for all of these phrases and of course, Amazon is never wrong! "Naval Ambitions" and "Smart Naval Habits."</p>
<p>Then we logged into my account. All my pay phrases read like romance novel covers. I've never ordered or read a romance novel, or ordered anything "romantic" on there. My pay phrases read "wistful romance" and "wishing for love." Presumably Amazon knows that I'm married to a gay sailor for the past decade, so they feel sorry for me and want to encourage me to branch out.</p>]]>

<p>Do they create it based on prior purchases or items viewed (which they seem to do all the time with recommended items)?</p>
<p>Oh I can have such FUN guessing what my husband's suggested Pay Phrase would be!</p>]]>
