No, it's more of a "bend over, you might feel some discomfort" on the job sort of thing. Yeah, and the Pope might be Catholic, too. Which is why I favor women doctors. Smaller fingers, ya know.
And besides, I figure she's already seen more assholes than a Congressional page, so why should I be bashful?

One more: I am the "Cannot find server" message in the internet browser of life.
