If it’s some form of genital torture that we Catholics have never heard of, then God help us all.

The British press provides a translation.

Of course, perhaps the Reformation was actually because Henry the VIII refused to receive jewel shockers in the form the Pope decreed.

“Jewel shocker” = side slap? What a disappointment. I was hoping it was a Shocker with a diamond-encrusted pinky ring.

The Delta Sky Club stopped offering Dewar's and started carrying something called Scorsby's. Why not worry about me, that's my lifetime membership that they fucked right there?

I don't worry for you. I cheer for you. No one should have to drink Dewar's. Unless you are mixing with with Vernor's.
