Back in the sixties, men would wrestle, now, unfortunately, they wrestle with game boys. The modern way is 'gayer' in its way. I miss wrestling, and I have two 'red-blooded' sons, a medical student and a mathematician. Frauenfelder: Generally, I admire you greatly, you are imaginative, daring and kindly. But, your dreadful fixation upon sexual deviance is spoiling my view of you. Get your shnozz out of the gutter, get yourself some fresh air! Amongst other things, it is quite illiberal for you to manifest in this fashion.
