I'm pretty sure the use I mentioned would fit in even the simplest version
of a generator.  As to how much sense I made of the discussion, let's just
say I'm glad there's no quiz at the end.  I did shudder at the mention of
unmentionables (male public displays of affection -- yeaach!), yodel at
the mention of Lord Greystoke swinging among stack branches and chuckled
at the vision of him being thrown back in a traceback (ouch! ouch! 
ouch!, "most painful last"...).
