No idea what was in that tea.  Probably some form of hot pepper.

And my mind jumped; discussing a plantar wart with a podiatrist. He said the acid used to take off these stubborn warts is based on cantharides. I told him that was Spanish Fly.  He claimed he’d never heard of it.  Oh, come on!  I know all our knowledge is getting more specialized, but I thought everybody at least knew that one.  It’s an aphrodisiac, and no monkey passes up memory of those.

Name your favorites. Mine is a really good backrub, the smell of amber and incense and sitar music.

Just dated myself, didn’t I?

The emoticon is “Miao.”  I dunno what that means, but it’s the closest expression to Babette’s self-satisfied and horny smirk.  Can somebody please design some for suspicion, superciliousness, disbelief, bemusement and reluctance?
