Some famous person..(I forget now, who)..once said that they were always VERY careful not to even try constructing a sentence about "circumscribing the world".

And I actually heard a little lid on the Art Linkletter show many years ago say in answer to Art's questioning that he'd "like to be an Octopus"!

"Why?"

"Becuase then I could wrap my testicles around everyone!"
