The Cow shook her head slowly. Some things were really difficult to understand. Like the fact that the most popular story on the Guardian Unlimited site last week was about the man who rejected the first successful penis transplant... while, elsewhere, a survey revealed that forty percent of Britons would willingly give up sex in order to live to 100. It didn't seem to make much sense - this fascination with penises, but a clear lack of interest in sex. "No wonder the 'Carry On' movies were so popular," Gramsci ventured.
