Or move.

In my experience .

@Bungle has probably stretched an owl in his prime.

Back in the 70s a girlie magazine called Penthouse used to have a forum and some bloke sent in his story about him coming across a wounded seagull, taking it home... and making love to it. He wrote that the sights and sounds of it flapping about whilst 'feeling his love', really turned him on...

Penthouse Forum was great...some very vivid imaginations out there lol

The Irish harp is the official symbol of the republic of Ireland, used on passports and official paperwork. When Ireland became a free state in 1922 , they wanted the harp as their national emblem but years earlier Guinness had it as copyright for themselves, so furious negotiations took place and Guinness allowed them to use it on condition they used it the other way around.
