That's an important omission. Thanks-I'll just append it to the end of my list, the one I keep by my side while writing.

Apparently he had limited use of the "T" key.

For what it's worth, the story is, admittedly, barely a step above "Stroke," i.e., the plot can be summarized as "He's hot for her, she's hot for him, and then they get it on and live happily ever after," but it's polished and engaging. Which is the way we say "hot" in literary circles when we're discussing, er, erotica.

What's often called a 'reciprocal' relationship? The old in 'n out, back 'n forth, up 'n down, double-acting reciprocating love machine?

I'm holding out for the countra-rotating clockwise/counter-clockwise double helix rhodium rod version, myself. With turgid cylinder wipes.

Kind of puts Walter Mitty's old "pocketa pocketa" to shame, doesn't it?

It was originally "pocketa pool pocketa pool" but Thurber's publisher forced him to cut the pool. The rest is history ...

I'll have to remember this list for my next children's story, "Mr. Bunny Goes to Market".
