Tobacco & Masturbation - I had no idea that the two were linked. Sort of like the old Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms department of the U.S. government. I always thought that was the place to call for party supplies.

Masturbation *and* suppressed masturbation - I think that covers just about everybody.

I thought they were all grounds for divorce.

I figured they were either what they are (grounds for institutionalizing someone) or else minimum requirements for running for Congress.
