True, but there are entirely too many people who don't believe

Including ***.  There are entirely too many people who believe
that *** is always fun, for everybody, under any cir***stances.
Remember the story of the man who died and found himselv in a
bedroom with a beautiful woman?  He could have *** with her as
often as he wanted, and did; and finally he said, "I never
imagined Heaven would be like this!"  And she said, "Heaven?
This is HELL, and you are my punishment!"

And the one about how cat heaven is dog hell, and vice versa.
