Hi tommy, i actually used to partake in this particular passtime quite a lot. I have a favourite lift in rochdale i used to visit to engage in this rather amusing passtime, however, i have given it up on account of one sad occasion i drew mud!
be well tom

I would have to correct you on this one Tommy. If the man stank, then the women would most likely be wretching. I suppose a loud unsmelly one might draw a laugh at a pinch... food for poetic thought?

Always a good sign when the title is twice as long as the work itself?
