Boddington’s what? His full, yet smooth, arse? It’s a bit too pasty for my taste. He does have nice lips, however.

Me too, but I’m going to wait until I get to the privacy of my own home before I act on it.

I hate the way we are losing our rights to privacy, don’t you?

Pasty? that’s what they call food in Cornwall…which is quite near Devon who has lovely lips

Yes, but not any more. The whole place washed away the last time it rained.

Why, I did indeed. Is your dog a collie, by any chance? I only ask because I probably built it.

As do I. They’re the business when you’re trying to eat an overcooked steak. Worth every penny, having 'em put in.

Oh, so now you think you’re God, that you can make a dog?

Well, I’ve always thought of myself more as Odg, but whatever.

Anyway, God makes dogs as well? How are they, pretty good quality? 'Cause we’re ISO 9001 certified, you know.

You paid for the teeth with a whole bunch of pennies? I’m surprised the dentist took 200,000 pennies, or however many you had. I’d have demanded a check, or at least bills of large denominations, so I could count them in a minute or so and make sure you didn’t short me.

What are you, some kind of engineering hater? Engineers can probably get dates too, you know.

I had a feeling that would happen if I didn’t quote **Ethilrist**. Oh well - it just looks like I _really_ misinterpreted **Sternvogel**.
