We all know the power of Witches.  I know one who owns three black standard 
poodles: Jupiter, Tut, and (I forget).  There's a local favorite "standard" 
song I've heard dedicated to her from the stage.  It's called "Can I Pet 
Your Poodle."  Witches' curlies are longer and more bouncy.  They like sex.  
Don't be afraid.

I know another (witch) who's rather fat, but she's so sexy.  It something 
that perplexes me.  Since I'm married, I have to be careful around her..

I love their Magic...
