While I do recognize that those are people in the second picture, I still see nothing but sheep… but that is their problem, not mine.

Are Americans allowed to say ‘Nipples’?

There’s a reason all those ‘items’ have nipples on them – the female breast is the ultimate symbol of power. Throughout history, those things have gotten more men to do stupid stuff than swords ever have.

Just to be on the safe side, I will avoid all nefs from this day forward. One can never be TOO cautious, you know. Especially when it comes to nefs… and pepper shakers.

Thank you Menck…yes, sometimes my lively mind and festive spirit gets me in deep trouble. Like yesterday, when I saw the nef. It’s actually, about as big as a modern day toilet…so….who knew that the French did not have salt and pepper shakers?

I also keenly observed that all the rest of the people there seemed to know EXACTLY what the nef was…which shows that I’m still alas, in the bottom dirty brown class.

Joyanna, you are a writer of lively mind and festive spirit. And of grand and keen observation.

Is it possible that the West has a monopoly on terminal insanity? Or does the burka fetish, after all, portend a greater planetary flapdoodle than we have yet managed to achieve?

Hard to imagine, really.

Symbols of power. They are the same the world over. Get 3000 people sitting around naked in the cold for 4 hours and you are guaranteed to get 6000 proud nipples too. I bet, also, that at least one pair is indistinguishable from Napoleon’s sister’s. Snap it up. But don’t look down.
