Selected-By: LRH The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was: > O wise Oracle, whose advice in love is second to none... > > What is the best way to win over the affections of a girl whose > personal ad might run as follows: > > *SWF, 18, 5'2", 105 lbs., petite, cute, brown hair, blue eyes. Just > broke up with boyfriend. And in response, thus spake the Oracle: } The Usenet Oracle suggests that you sing her a love song, and he has } one that must have been written for the very girl you describe! (It is } by Fish Karma, but she will be more impressed if you tell her you wrote } it specially for her.) } } She Is the Mammal } } She is warmblooded } and she walks on two legs; } She bears live young, she } doesn't spore, or lay eggs; } She respirates and she procreates } she digests, and then expels waste! } } Oh, she's ... the mammal for me! } } She has two nostrils } that she likes to breathe through, } With little hairs inside that capture } all the dirt that tries to push its way through; } She has a past--she's self-aware } She's got opposable thumbs and a vacant stare, oh } } [Chorus] She's the mammal for me! } She is the mammal that I love! [repeat] } } She has milk-producing organs } that have little clusters of alveoli, } A four-chambered heart that beats } so wildly when she gets near me, } Sweat glands in her hair and skin, } a highly developed nervous system! } } She's the mammal for me! } } Self-projecting cartilaginous processes } that I whisper sweet nothings into, } A muscular diaphragm and nuclei, } free corpuscles too } There's so much articulation don't you know } between her tibial and her tarsal bones, oh } } She's the mammal for me! [repeat etc.] } } (c) 1991 Triple K Records } reprinted under the Oracle Fair Use provision and relevant Geneva } conventions
