...This uni-sex stuff--I was talking to some people in the clothes business about fashion and they told me that the areas of the body that are getting the most attention now aren't the breasts or crotch or reproductive areas. All these designers are concentrating on the bottom, you know? They're all accentuating your "boo-boo," you know? They're not concentrating on those areas that really differentiate a man and a woman. This is what I'm trying to get away from...

Young Milne did not get to know his father until he was old enough to go away to prep school, and like many an Englishman, he seems to owe more kindness and wisdom to his nanny than to his parents. The book shows greater nostalgia for the land around Crotch-ford, the family place near Ashdown Forest, than for the world's most famous stuffed animals. But yes, dear reader, the Six Pine Trees, the Hundred Acre Wood, Galleon's Lap (where Pooh and C.R. said their last goodbye), Christopher Robin's tree house and the Pooh...

If it were possible to get a hernia while sitting down, I would have...

...suspicious pilot had personally searched the two men before the takeoff from Amsterdam, but once the Pan American 747 was aloft they pulled pistols from crotch holsters and announced that they were hijacking the plane on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. They ordered the plane to Cairo and eventually blew it up. That was in September 1970. While worrying about the series of Arab hijackings, Pan American also had a more mundane problem: Who was going to pay for its $24,288,759 plane? Was the 747 covered by the regular "all-risk" insurance issued...

Soon after their voyage begins, more than 50% of submariners begin sleeping from twelve to 16 hours a day -simply to escape boredom. At the same time, sexual frustrations begin to increase. X-rated movies attract capacity crowds, and "crotch novels" pass quickly from hand to hand. Says Psychologist Benjamin Weybrew of the Naval Submarine Medical Center in Groton, Conn.: "The pornographic route has probably served a useful purpose." Some behaviorists even advocate pornographic libraries for each submarine to help alleviate tension...
