Yes, but only for gentlemen. A regular person doesn't give a crap.

Men'll say anything.

Agreed. Furthermore, the world population would probably decline
drastically given the lack of the double-entendre.

Actually, most Injuns speak just like you or I. -Er, I, anyway. I
reside in Arizona where there are a lot of Navajos. Not one ever called
me "White Eyes" and the majority of them don't even mention my tongue.

Also significant is the nature of said reason and whether or not the
results of the obfuscation necessitate the services of an obstetrician.

By their mothers, I suppose. Just think how much worse these guys would
have turned out had they been German.

Well, since the nether lands were no longer available, the only other
logical choice was Australia, to which they gleefully sailed.
Unfortunately, due to the rotund nature of their overstuffed gastro-
intestinal regions, the Australians thought that they were a virulent
strain of some weird mutant marsupial and kicked them out. Eventually
they ended up in Africa sweltering on the veldt until someone realized
that going south there was like going north up over, and they finally
settled in a more reasonable, albeit strange, land they were going to
name "Holeland" but didn't.

Is this an admission of guilt or an admission of callousness?

Well, they start out nice but women ruin them.

Men don't complain; they merely point out observed negatives in a
logical and concise manner. Furthermore, men ain't afraid of nothing.
They are the rulers of the world, lords of all the realms, and all
lesser things tremble in their wake *and* sleep.

If you don't buy that, I can show you plenty of men who have more gut
than you would wish to deal with.
