Time to jump in your Wayback Machine and remember something from, as I recall, the early to late 1970s. There was this sort of fad about making a statement associating sexual intercourse with the speakers industry/hobby/business. I’m a printer; by education and a long career in printing and publishing. Our mantra at the time was “Printers do it reproductively.” I also remember “Scuba divers do it deeper.” I can remember many more, but will pass. What do you remember? ---

I went on a spring concert tour up the coast of California with the Loyola Marymount choruses in 1977. On our free touristy day in Carmel, I got a custom made T-shirt that read “BASSES DO IT DEEPER.” My best friend (a tenor) got one that said “TENORS HOLD IT HIGHER, LONGER.” ---
