Very recently, in a zoo a gorilla escaped from his ground and esp (!) attacked a woman. She was bitten 50 times and had many broken bones. She was a regular visitor of this gorilla (named Bokito) and thought they had a special bond. She always smiled to him and he showed her his teeth. She thought he liked her and he thought she challenged him!

>Ah but wise man once say "to smile is to show the teeth" or "many a true word is spoken in jest".

>>Ah, Terry, you too appear to have a weak spot. Although Tracy showed her big smile ( :o) ), you are this time definitely hurt, right? Do you want Tracy to apologize? (See, I try to mediate here.)
