[lojban] Re: Proper usage of jbovlaste.

[Robin Lee Powell <rlpowell@digitalkingdom.org>]

The idea of expressing enjoyment of having monkeys in one's pants as an
offical example for *la'edi'u*, of all things, seemed innapropriate.

Smuggling had nothing to do with it.

I don't see how you can *not* find a sexual connotation in the idea of
enjoying having a monkey in one's pants.

Note, for the record, that I am doing this because I feel it is
appropriate given my LLG-appointed position in the jbovlaste project,
not because I personally give even the *slightest* kalci.
