Ptolly, get your mind out of the gutter! Wait, what am I saying? Revised: Ptolly, that is precisely the sort of gutter material we are hoping to cultivate. ;-)

Tracy, red wine, black clothing...what else does a girl need?

You are talking money, right?

Ptolemy - you are doing quite well for an apprentice. Are you sure you haven't previous training elsewhere?

I'm talking pretty much everything, now you come to mention it... Is it called a gutter as things keep going down in it?

LOL oh don't, you two - my poor sides are hurting now!

So, the title of this thread then. I take it that means we have 203 male contributors to the forum. How many females are there?

PSD - most everything eventually falls into the gutter. Usually from a great height and smashing into small pieces never to be seen again.

A good hard rain may clean out the gutter but it has been my experience that one never truly gets out of the gutter.

Nor should they want to, right Trace?

Well, I really don't know why they would want to get out of the gutter Nicky. Really, what would be the point. They would simply slide right back in again anyway.

Ptolly - unless there's a reason some of us look as happy as a dog with two dicks...

I have seen an analogy to desscribe how organisms got larger. Basically there is a wall of minimum size, and so the only way to change was upwards, away from the wall. A drunk walking down a road has a wall on one side, and as he stumbles he can move away from the wall, but never through it - so he can only move in one direction too, even if there's no advantage to falling over into the gutter...

Very good, PSD. The inverse of that could of course also be applied to show not how organisms got larger but how orgasms got louder. It's the not only moving in one direction part that's the key.
