Since I have been both enlightened and amused by the GK board for many months, namely: --Mike Buckley's elegant use of language; --Uncle Frank's gentlemanly command of carrot and stick; --Mathematician's dramatic appearance; --Lindy Bill's "Russian Army" boldness and, above all, his use some weeks ago of the archaic term 'codfoolery,' which equates, I would think, with today's unfortunately little-used 'balderdash.' In the interest of returning a smidgeon of knowledge, there appeared in today's Washington Post a photo ofJohn Travolta and a fellow actor wearing codpieces. It was a still from a new movie, "Battlefield Earth," for which, apparently, words are ill-suited to describe its odor. Warner Brothers and the MPA sought to suppress the photo, saying it was released by error, but the irreverent Post presumably ignored its advertising department. From the photo, it was clear that Travolva's codpiece was considerably larger than that of his fellow actor's. Now this leads me to ask a question that won't appear on "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?" What is the closest female equivalent of a codpiece? You might require a weighty dictionary to find the answer, which is, of course, 'merkin.' n. b.: Please don't report me; I promise never to post again --
