    I saw him in a foursome round robin with Pete" The Penetrator" *****,[ it was B&W & silent in those days,] and the two females involved were considerably more hirsute than is the fashion nowadays,or so I'm told.

    My Grandson watched it recently and thought they were wearing furry protector cups.
