I was hoping that the general shape of the device and key components 
within said device might provide a "metaphor", shall we say, for the 
anatomical features toward which this discussion has so pitifully 
drifted.  I can see that the more sophisticated details of my zero-point 
energy quantum fluctuator would be totally lost on you.  And only 
someone who took bartending lessons at Hooters would consider using a 
metal martini shaker;  everyone down at *my* dock knows that you never 
make a martini with anything less than a *crystal* shaker.  You can 
redeem yourself by sending me a fifth of Martin Miller's (the Bombay 
Sapphire or the Tanqueray #10 are just so plebeian).
