The nipple statement was kind of a ledge I went on on my own, not from
the book.  Several people have emailed me privately to suggest I might be
wrong.  Sorry about that.  But at least I got to use the nipple word!

So if liking the nipple lights means you were weaned too early, what does
liking semaphores indicate?  Hmmmmmm.  Do semaphores say "Schwing!!!" when
they kick up?
