Sinister: unkindest cut

[Corpora Arenacea]

	The eighth-day Jewish ceremony is called the bris millah, brit millah 
in non-Diasporic Hebrew.....it is supposedly a covenant with God but I 
wish I'd been old enough to choose whether I wanted to be aligned. Tho 
it was pretty funny, I went to my cousin's bris and when they were done 
and the reception had begun we looked over at the table and there was 
his little foreskin, just sort of lying there, and my brother and I 
mulled over whether to steal it and then present it back to him as a Bar 
Mitzvah present.
	And for those of you who think that having a circumcision at age 13 is 
too impossibly painful, from what I remember that is exactly what the 
Muslims do. I heard that some sects (of Islam) are also pretty big on 
female (!) circumcision so that they can never derive enjoyment from 
sex, and in fact makes it almost excruciatingly painful. Does anyone 
have a copy of Tigermilk?
