Greased lightening
In my opinion the best prophylactic is bhindi/okra/lady-fingers (keep a hold on your dirty mind). The little seeds act like roller bearings and the innate sliminess as grease. It just chucks the stuff out. I feel several kilos lighter.

Misplaced conviction?
When Wilde was convicted of perversion (too deep a fondness for his own kind) he was sent to an all male prison. Was that wise? Would that in any way help cure his deviant ways? Or, would it just exacerbate the malaise? If I was the judge, and really wanted to help poor Wilde back into society's 'normal' fabric, I would have sent him to a all women's prison. Short sightedness. apathy, or incompetence of law?

A shaggy dog story
On a very hot summer afternoon a couple of hippopotami were basking in the muddy water of the Nile with their noses just showing above. They appeared very contended and even a little drowsy. Finally one of the hippopotamuses raised his snout out of the water enough so that he could open his mouth. He said dreamily, "Somehow you know, I can't help thinking it is Thursday."

Definition: A shaggy dog story is supposed to be pure nonsense and yet somehow funny.
