[QUOTE=KneadToKnow] Okay, my brain quit reading what you wrote at this point and (without bothering with the fact that I don’t know what a manometer really is) automatically responded, “That guy’s gonna be real disappointed if he keeps measuring his manhood with a 20-foot ruler.” [/QUOTE] It put that tune Mah nah mah nah in my head. ☹ ---

In another thread, I learned that **Mangetout** is an eBay seller. Curious as to what he sold, I searched under his username, but found numerous permutations of Mangetout. There is Mangetout1, Mangetout33, etc. So I looked over the feedback for clues and I think I’ve found him! Here is one of the feedbacks that supports my assertion: > [@](#): > > Excellent seller! Fast shipping! Excellent communication skills! A peculiar obsession with giraffes, however. ---

To be fair though, that customer received his giraffe completely by accident - it must have crept into the package before I sealed it, while my back was turned. ---

Interestingly, and returning briefly to reality, you can’t find my ebay ID like that, even though it does in fact contain the string ‘mangetout’ ---
