Hi,

I'd like to start a thread on kisses...U know that us, I mean froggies
are kindda expert on that :)...well anyway here some quotes I gather
sometime ago:

A kiss: 
"The anatomical juxtaposition of 2 orbicularis oris muscles
in a state of contraction" - Dr. Henry Gibbons

" To a young girl, faith; to a married woman, hope; to an old maid,
charity"- V.P. Skipper

"A kiss is a rosy dot over the 'i' of loving" - Cyrano de Bergerac

Bisous!!

  Since Cyrano usually spoke in French, I would suspect this isn't exactly
what he said.  What was the French word for "loving" that he used?  I can't
think of any containing an "i."

Un baiser: un petit point rose que l'on met sur l'i du verbe Aimer.

Almost as nice as:

"votres lobes d'oreilles sont comme les te^tes des poissons"

which is a sickeningly romantic thing to whisper into a loved one's ear 
provided said loved one doesn't know any French... comparing someone's
earlobes to fish heads is not a recommended technique for getting laid.

There is an oldie, for it must date back from the times
when every gent had to wear a moustache, and it goes:
"Un baiser sans moustache est comme une soupe sans sel"

(a kiss without a moustache is like a soup without salt)
