After going out to supper a local pizza joint, my family and I went to the library to borrow a couple movies. Out in the front, they had boxes of books for sale - $1 hardcovers, $0.50 paper backs. Some good titles. Toward the end, I found a fig book!!! The Durable Fig Leaf Here's the subtitle: A historical, cultural, medical, social, literary, and iconographic account of man's relation with his penis I started cracking up. I told my wife I found a fig book and she was psyched for me. Then I had her read the title and she double-taked and just stared at me :) __________________ Arne Zone 6a - NJ
