"Only to relieve tensions and when negotiating for a perch or food, and then disinterestedly, whatever the sex or the age," said Andre.

Yes, you remember what it was like when you had hippies over to your last dinner party.

Yes, and I'm still trying to get the stains out of the carpet and the smells out of the bathroom and couch.

Next time, we'll set up portable chemical showers on the veranda.
