Thanks for the info, Doug...I can't remember where I
found it on the web...guess they weren't too sure of
it either...are you sure he wasn't a Mormon?  Reason I
ask is I've had some mormon students who have said
they've been exposed, so to speak of course, to
similar stuff when growing up.  I've tried to track
Peterson down but to no avail.  Maybe I ought to make
a disclaimer about it possibly not being
"mormon-authentic"...but hey, it's still
hillarious...many a class and I have gotten a good
laugh...also sparks some very interesting discussions
about sex et al.
