As far as froggie dollies are concerned, I think that anyone who has seen the National Lampoon cartoon knows, "That's not funny, that's sick!" |
If we were to continue this discussion, which I surely hope that we
don't, we would need to agree on a definition of "sophisticated."
If you want to continue the discussion, I wish to go ahead and concede defeat now. You win. I lose.
