I'd heard these were great... but here's what really interests me
about this post. <G>

Your son sheds???

And I'm dying to hear the story behind walking on a Greek man's back.
Have you done this often? For what purpose? I'm picturing a trip to
Greece and men in the street throwing themselves (naked, of course) at
your feet - but maybe it's something even kinkier.

Do tell! (But if that Dyson has a vibratory attachment - I don't want
to know about it, but I suspect Lizzie and Janice will be tearing off
to BB forthwith.)
