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. -Robin On Wed, Mar 05, 2003 at 03:56:58PM -0500, Invent Yourself wrote: > I thought you had read some sexual connotation into the phrase.
