Your gorgeous new wife has a penis?
We’d best keep this secret between us.
My friend, you’re naive.
No way she’ll conceive.
You’ve wed a pretender, not Venus.
— D.N. O’Brien

And chicks and hens have cocks, right?
And cloacae.
And their lives were gay ever after…
It’s a pity how the word “gay” has been hijacked. Why not just invent a new word. I knew a girl by the way and her married name was Gay Guy — true story.
You’re right, Dennis – over the years, many words have come to mean different things. And this, during our life time, too.
