How did that feel?

Which reminds me of an old song, "OH, cabin boy, oh, cabin boy, you
dirty little nipper. Lined your ass with broken glass and circumcised
the skipper."

Ha, good one, never heard that before. And thanks for taking my joke
in good humor.

Google the lyrics for "Friggin' in the Riggin'," the Sex Pistols' version - one
of, if not the, most readily-available and "famous" versions of "Good Ship
Venus." Or if you're really into such stuff, look for an compilation called
"Rogue's Gallery" - it has a version by Loudon Wainwright III, as well as a
whole bunch of other stuff by folks like Brian Ferry, Sting, Bono, Rufus
Wainwright. You'll either be amazed or confused...

The more-or-less "standard" verse above is:

"The cabin boy was Kipper,
He was a dirty nipper,
He packed his ass with broken glass,
And circumcised the skipper..."
