She had a Boxer, and she couldn't bring herself to have him neutered.

I don't think it's unfair to refer to it as a cultural practice, as it wasn't a religious one back then (the people adopted it because the King required it of his wives).

Also why does it take so lnog for text I've ptyped to show up in this little dialog box? It leads toa slew of typoes which are equally annoying to correct. And ditto on the lollipop jokes ;-) If my creator knew what wsa best for me, then wouldn’t have I been created veiled, according to this ad?
