This is meant to be funny. If you don't rotate jokes, then you probably
don't want to read this. If you don't *read* jokes, you definitely don't
want to read this. I warned you. Please don't read on.
This provided courtesy of the recent "Feminising Literature" note and
the "jive" source that was in net.sources. BTW, I do take this issue
