We just don't know the ramifications of playing God with these bikes. It's a brave new world; very scary.

+1, but see above; let's keep an eye out for potential antibiotic resistant nipples.

I wanna sit down and have a drink with that woman- she strikes me as someone I could get along with.

A bit OT, but this reminds me of one of my wife's clients. She complained that her dog was covered in ticks. She ripped them all off. My wife told her that they weren't ticks, but nipples. Owner replied with "males don't have nipples." lol. poor dog.

Or for the older, vintage National Lampoon fans.....

"Come in, Rangoon!"

If you had seen the cartoon, circa 1974 or so, it would be burned into your psyche.

I've been scouring my brain for the original reference for the 70's, I was thinking What's Up Tiger Lily but Nat Lamp rings a foggy bell or two.

"Come in Moscow" was popular here in the 70's, I wanted to be a communicator in the Corps for a long time after that one hit it big.
