    Tim3, if our visitor is, indeed, of the male affectation, then joining "menses" will do him no good. It's not a club he can aspire to with his current equipment, however challenged it may be. ;-}

    You know, I assumed "he" was "male" (shall we say?) given the attitude. But perhaps I'm wrong. If he's female (?), then what's "she" defending, apart from something-something size? I still believe that menses is her penultimate goal. After all, only the smartest in my school (oddly, they were all women) strove for that. And R2D2 is, I suspect, on the cusp of puberty and, thus, enlightment (although, as a father, which I'm not, that's probably too much to ask for).
