They have no such compunctions in Australia. A guy with a name like Richard Head- or Richard Chua, who also went to my school there- would be scarred for life after going through the school systems there.

"Fertile woman dies near Climax"

20 years ago, the newspaper in Fargo, North Dakota reported on a fatal accident nearby with the following headline:

"Fertile woman dies near Climax"
