    Hooray! You guys are in rare form. Great puns all around and Calidore, I laughed out loud at that last one. Pendragon, thanks for teaching me a new word, I never knew that that 'slash' was called a virgule. I feel all literate and worldly now.

    Gallows: When you go on a first date with a winsome lass, you wonder what that gal allows.
