Oh I don't know... My torso was, admittedly, getting larger -- but
remaining safely prolate with a vertical axis. Then one day, real
sudden-like -- damn if I wasn't oblate. Karin was "alarmed", but the
rabbit lived. My doctor said it was the three pints of B&J's Chunky
Monkey I was consuming every week and gave me a spanking.

A-and then those clummmps of hair in the sink, Mein Gott...
