Faltam-me três polegadas!

Ultimamente tenho recebido imensos mails de gente que nem sabia que existia, mas certamente toda minha amiga, que se manifesta muito preocupada comigo.

Jamie Hannah, Kelli Sellers, Toby Douglas, Heidi Delgado e tantos/as, tantos/as outros/as, têm-me enviado diariamente conselhos sobre como resolver um problema que eu desconhecia que me afectava. Consta que tenho um pénis pequeno...

Confesso que a tomada de consciência do facto não me afectou o sono. O que me deixou verdadeiramente preocupado foi um mail que recebi hoje de alguém que se assina Gay Caudill.

Gay???
"In North America the black bear was seen by [Samuel] Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."
