   Of course he did: back then, what with the whole Motherhood and Apple Pie   
   attitude, the Great & Good preferred to believe, at least say so in   
   public, that girls didn't have assholes  and didn't shit - or if they   
   did, it was perfumed and nonstick.   
      
   Imagine how well the spoken intro to "Black Napkins" went down with the   
   people pushing that view: there's an excuse to go and play FZPTMOFZ right   
   now.
