Excuse me, all...But just to point out that *wench* is NOT necessarily an
*insult*.  Where I come from, it is a *compliment*.  If you don't beleive
that, go over to http://www.wench.org and find out.
 
Im *not* a member, because that just isn't me.  But it *isnt* an insult,
thankssoverymuch.
 
With respect to the *over 600* members of the International Wenches Guild,
elf.

[Moderator's note: OK, point taken, thanks -- though there was little doubt
in my mind that it was *meant* as one and can be used accordingly.  I think
it would be difficult to keep further discussion of the word related to
ferrets, so let's move on, please.  BIG]
