If we ever got a handle on what people do to other people against their will, I might start getting interested in what the consenting adults get up to. But since that ain't happenin' in my lifetime and probably not in my grandchildren's (if any) lifetime...

I don't care if somebody wants to sleep with Florida grapefruit. As long as that grapefruit is an adult consulting grapefruit, this is not my business and not my problem. They can go ahead and have at it, as far as I'm concerned.

Since I'm a little old silver-haired lady, this generally shocks the hell out of them.
