    He saw a great piece of wing on the TV and got horny?  He's 
    immitating the vacuum cleaner?

    Seriously, welcome to the world of Amazon ownership.  There should
    be a kit ofr "us" that include ear plugs, gloves and contact lenses
    so we can dialate our eyes too.  Amazons are notorious for screaming.
    I can hear my Nape down the street if the windows are open.
