Of Parisian igloos, etc.

Of course, the rules of English grammar and syntax are such that every day, each one of us writes or utters sentences which had never before been written or uttered. My senile nephew Clarence tried to pay his mortgage with rutabagas, for example, or The mayor vowed to raise taxes on all citizens who own more than seventeen albino ferrets.

As I read this week's Savage Love column, I came across this stellar example of a sentence which I am certain had never been uttered before:
At a recent party in Paris, I fucked a Spanish girl in an inflatable igloo.
The rest of Dan Savage's advice column deals, as it is wont to do, with matters both prurient and scatological, including a detailed discussion of a practice which makes the gentle art of teabagging seem like a quaint relic of simpler times. If such things appeal to you, then read on. If not, then you probably shouldn't read on, and you probably shouldn't have clicked on that hyperlink in the previous paragraph, either. But then again, as Joni Mitchell reminded us long ago, life is for learning.
