I know of one family friend's seven-year-old who walked into the pole outside the club on his way home from school because he and his little mate were ogling the picture of the rude lady.Now of course there are several issues to be considered in a story like this, gentle readers.

There may be some men out there too overcome with shame to admit that they have this terrible affliction or that it has ever affected them. They're liars. Every damned (for surely we are "damned") one of them. The stories I could tell, the tears and the blood (my own, of course) I have shed... The shame...
Don't blame us. Don't hate us. Don't condemn us. It's genetic--we can't help but LOOK...
