TOT: hetherb..Who's mind is in the gutter??? Have you ever heard of an erector set or perhaps heard of a construction person erecting a wall or building??? I would hope they aren't "elevating" the building. Remember, When you point your finger at someone else your pointing 3 fingers back at yourself. Just playin...Have a Great Day! :-}

I didn't know "erection" was associated with "gutter" language. I thought erection was a clinical term for a natural phenomenon that God created. LOL.

At the other end of the continuum, it's funny how we say "adult" movie or "adult" language or "adult" book when we mean dirty or immoral (whatever that is). What happened to "adult" meaning "mature or legal age?" It's like we try to validate things with less descriptive verbiage in order to make them not so bad. I grew up in the time when we changed from "queer" to "gay". Incarcerated felons have moved from "convicts" to "inmates" and even to "clients" in some prisons. Diversity training (acceptance of others) now not only includes race, sex, color, country of origin, religion, etc.; it includes all the libertarian ideas of acceptance of anyone's actions - no matter how heinous. It's not that I hate those who participate in those acts. But I don't have to accept their actions as OK. Are we going to move all the way to acceptance of child molestors as diversity training? Hopefully the backlash there has begun to move the pendulum the other way.

Off my soapbox now. Not so politically correct. Not aiming at you hetherb. I know you were being light. Just mulling over some thoughts in my more "adult" (mature) years.
