ready for lessons any time!yeahbut® how do I just know you'ld be regaling me with interesting facts about the sinusoidal patterns of waveforms in a restricted vessel or some such thing? Perhaps fear, like the Porter's drink, is an equivocator: Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance: therefore, much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery: it makes him, and it mars him; it sets him on, and it takes him off; it persuades him, and disheartens him; makes him stand to, and not stand to; in conclusion, equivocates him in a sleep, and, giving him the lie, leaves him. specially fer yuw, J! ;)

Dear mav: I have used this quote many times, but always to denote the insidiousness of liquor:
Macd. What three things does drink especially provoke? Port. Marry, sir, nose-painting, sleep and urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance.

Okay--the female "victim" in this story is supposedly named Claire Swire. I ran that through the acronym server, and got a couple that just may give a hint to the veracity of this tale: RACIER WILES and AIRSCREW LIE.

The Claire Swire story is indeed true. I saw the original email stream, forwarded to me by a friend in England. Full marks to the lass for candour, -10 for sense, I say. There are some things you just don't say in emails!
