Let's see...
There was the backwoods farmer who gathered his three sons in the farmyard one day, and demanded to know which of them had pushed the outhouse over the cliff.
The sons hemmed and hawed, and accused each other, until their father bade them "SHUT UP!!!"
He walked around the three boys, sizing them up, and finally said, "I'm gonna tell you boys a story, and I expect to NOT hear a peep out of you until I'm finished. Got it?"
The boys nodded, and their father started in,
"A long time ago, a little boy got a brand-new hatchet for his birthday. He was aching to try it out, and espied his father's prize cherry tree nearby. A few quick strokes with the new hatchet, and the tree was dying on the ground. The little boy, George, quickly figured his father would be furious with him, and sure enough, when his father came home, he called George to his side and said, 'George, I want you to tell me the truth. Was it YOU who chopped down my prize cherry tree?'
"George, though quaking with fear, said, 'Father, I cannot tell a lie. It was me that chopped down the tree.' As a reward for his truthfulness, George was not punished by his father, and many, many years later grew up to be the first president of the United States of America, George Washington.
"Now, I'm going to ask you again, boys, which of you pushed the outhouse over the cliff???"
The boys hemmed and hawed some more, until finally the middle boy stepped forward and said, "Father, I cannot tell a lie. I pushed the outhouse over the cliff."
Their father grabbed ahold of his ear, and began to drag him toward the woodshed, saying, "I'm gonna give you the tanning of your lifetime. You're not going to be able to sit for a month!"
"But, dad!" Said the other two boys, "George Washington wasn't punished when he told the truth about chopping down the cherry tree!"
"George Washingon's father," their dad snarled, "wasn't in the cherry tree!"

Sentama Lin I'm forbidden from looking at that, Tsuj. The link told me so. :3 Hrmm... Well, I can't post a link to the site itself due to the content... and they're blocking the direct access to the comic image... It's only comic #7, too... @Sanzo — "Fanboying" is a euphemism. Most likely for "hanging out with yourself". 3nodding

Sanzo, don't listen to Tsuj. I'm fanboying...
Tsuj, I read the comic. I like it. It reminds me of Ghastly's Ghastly Comics, but a lot more clever and slightly more tasteful. Just slightly...

I love that whole series, but it's certainly not for everyone.
"Sorry darling. I'm only teasing you, I can't possibly get pregnant."
"Whew! That was the scariest moment of my life! So... uh... why can't you get pregnant?"
"I used to be a man."

Well... time for Kusa and aretoo to hit the hay, and Kusa wants the compy for a bit, so-ooo... G'night, one and all, and may Morpheus bring you wonderful dreams!
(And Sanzo? It's not manga, or yaoi, but you really, REALLY should check out DC Comic's Vertigo imprint Sandman. There are 10 collected volumes plus one; the 10 volumes you should read in order. They're wonderful, and I'd be very surprised if you didn't adore them by the time you got to the end.)
(That goes for everyone else, too, actually.) mrgreen

Sanzo, and everyone, I recommend Sandman as well. I've read some of them, thanks to my roommate last year being a comic collector.
