- Boy was I relieved not to find a bunch of mee too's . I was wondering
- if Anybody has also heard about the gay sex manuel that could not
- find a printer ( editor wanted to do book) because the printers
- found the drawings objectionable. Now that was also on NPR recently,
- must I now boycott all book printers that refused to do this....
-
- Guess not because I am not gay.
