>>Sheep don't really have the same effect.
So, here's looking at 'ewe' [darn, I've done it again!]<<
Reminds me of the story of the guy who ran a flower shop in Sydney. Neat place, the only flower shop I've ever seen with a revolving door. I went in one day and George had installed a new entry area, with niches set into all the walls and a statue of a sheep in each niche. Beautiful flowers all around.
I asked him whether he had ever featured just one statue, and he replied that he had but it had almost destroyed his business. "I don't understand it," he said, "but the customers all said that one statue of a Merino ewe gave the entryway an aura of perversity. They came in the revolving door and went right back out."
I consoled him. "It proves yet again," I said, "that lonely ewes can pervert florist foyers."
