Yes I did write that. Pssst, you're meant to add a reply underneath.

What you need is a French interrupted screw...

Is that something you do on "la plage"? I did once interrupt a man and his wife (or bit on the side) while I was returning from a long walk along the Grand Canyon du Verdon. It had just got dark and they thought they had privacy. I came round the corner and saw her giving him a blowjob. She went bright red and he tried to cover his erection. I said "Oooh la la!" and walked past, then all three of us burst out laughing.

Ahhh, cool invention, not suitable for screwing two pieces of wood together though.
