Great line, and oh so true!
Viz a recent thread in rec.arts.tv where some morons insisted that
Carlos tampering with Gabby's birth control pills on /Desperate
Housewives/ was rape. Their justification was that it was more
serious than jaywalking, or something.
It's right up there with Heinlein's "Never try to teach a pig to
sing. You'll only waste your time, and annoy the pig."
I'm going to pinch it.
