The guys who wrote it must have been laughing their asses off the entire time. That and stoned. It's like they wrote down a list of sexual taboos then dreamed up the most rEdiculous scenarios for each of them. I need to read "Candide" to figure out parts of it -- particularly when Candy goes to work with the "Crackers" in a deep mine in northern Minnesota.

It's one of the best satires written since Swift penned "A Modest Proposal." I'm glad you liked it.
