Tsk, tsk, tsk. That's a Norwegian Blue. Lovely plumage. Not an African Grey, dear chap.

Think you are smart, eh?

So tell me, what is the average speed velocity of an unlaiden swollow?

[wbill]

Would that be African or European?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Nope. That's a very common way that male homosexuals refer to themselves and others.

I worked at a place were almost 30 perfect of the employess were gay. (gay males mostly)

They constantly referred to each other that way. Either that or they called each other "bitch".

Here you go guys. This might help explain the usage of "she" in the article. I posted this before I read your posts.

The guys I worked with always referred to each other as "she".

Thank you. I am wiser, if not happier.
