Recollection of amusing anecdote sent to friends with embedded link which friends discovered was waaaaay NSFW, leading to additional amusing anecdotes unfit for a family board. Warning not to click on link. Gives self time-out for posting anecdotes and link.

Renewed frustration of non-understanding of previous posters remark about poster of hyper-link until clicking on subject. Then realization of benefit of sitting position as previous two posters exercise arms by pulling on both walking apendages of said non-understanding poster simultaniously.
