    ... and hoping he is in good health and spirits... I have a memory of him referring to, with almost schoolyardish sniggers, women using a
    transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) unit for sexual gratification...

    ... I recently had some physical therapy for an Achilles' tendon
    difficulty and was given some TENS treatments.

    Granted, one cannot get much farther from the pubis than the Achilles
    tendon and still be on the same body... but I found it difficult to
    imagine how anyone of any sex would find that gratifying.

    Get well soon, Doc. (Achilles can be very nasty; maybe lay off the
    petit-jetes for a while, and stop kicking Killer...)

    I long ago gave up trying to understand the bizarre things that (some)
    people find sexually gratifying; one of these days I'll write a book
    about just the requests I have experienced personally... or, then again, perhaps not...

    A guy goes back to a young lasses apartment and they move to the bedroom
    where things progress from good to better.

    He senses she is not quite turned on, so he asks if there is anything
    she would like him to do that might help.

    "Could you take this flash unit, climb up on the wardrobe and flash it
    at me as I toss on the bed."

    He does so and she writhes on the bed moaning: "Lightning!
    Ooooh...Lightning!"

    "Could you get the wok out of the kitchen and bang on with the fire
    poker while you make the flashes?"

    He does so.

    "Thunder! Ooooh...Thunder! Lightning! Thunder!..."

    Her antics on the bed have aroused the young man to an unfair point.

    He enquires timidly: "D'j'you think we might actually do it now...?"

    She sits up abruptly.

    "What?! In weather like this?! Are you nuts?!"

    Pete.
