Just shows to show how far towards S-M the world has moved.  When *I* was
an urchin, the joke went:

	"THE WOODS, THE WOODS!"
	"No, no, anything but the woods!"
	"THE WOODS, THE WOODS!"
	"No, no, anything but the woods!"
	"ANYTHING??????"
	"The woods, the woods!"

or (alternate version):

	"THE WOODS, THE WOODS!"
	"No, no, anything but the woods!"
	"THE WOODS, THE WOODS!"
	"No, no, my mother wouldn't like it!"
	"YOUR MOTHER LOVED IT!"
	"The woods, the woods!"
