Rum  One,
Sometimes these things just happen....but proper preparation of the  brain 
is essential.
Here's one for you..that just 'happened'....let's just  say I can 
personally vouch for the authenticity of this one:
A couple was  nestled comfortably together..'spooning is the term 
used...(think of spoons in  the cutlery drawer....)
The female partner told her male partner the name  for this was 
spooning....the male partner quickly retorted that if this was  spooning, what was the 
other...forking???
All  true...

Elle,
I don't know if I could sit down and  just try to come up with some of  
these. It would take a lot of rum  to get me in the correct frame of mind. 
Then,  
you never know what  could come to my sick twisted rum soaked mind.

The Post runs or used to run these  contests regularly under  the 
heading of "Style  Invitational"

Here's a link to recent   ones:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2009/12/24/ST20091224
02052.html?sid=ST2009122402052

and   a link to a listing of recent Style   Invitationals:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/linkset/2005/03/25/LI200503
2501843.html

You'll   have to register if you aren't but it doesn't seem to cause   any
harm.

They used to be in the Sunday paper (which is the only  one  we go out 
and buy) but they evidently now run on Saturdays. I  didn't  realize 
how much I missed them.

Thanks,  Rummy.
