Is she in any shape and form related to Alfons?

 

[Race Radio]

Where have I seen her before???

Oh, yeah.

 

[The Devil]

Where have I seen her before???

Oh, yeah.

You are certainly under the wrong impression.

Oh, yeah.

Well, hermaphrodites do exist. In 1924 I don't think it would be fair to hold them responsible for who they are..

Even today, it's a tragic situation.

Tammy Thomas is tragic for another reason. Someone who's lost all perspective is sad.

But yeah, back to the OP, that's a great story.

So let me get this straight. The way I read your post, is if you were a woman in 1924, and assumably without the aid of PED's, and you happened to love riding a bike, fast...then you must've been a hermaphrodite?

Are you kidding me?

The repsonses to this thread make me sorry I stepped back into CN.

I guess I'll go check my pants to see if all these years I've been sporting a penis, as well as a vagina.
