Gosh, you're polite.  I find the Tooth Fairy easier to believe in
than 90% of Catherine Asaro's male characters, particularly when
she does her gender role reversal thing and you have boys
wandering around worrying if it's okay that they're not virgins
any more, when there's no real way to even TELL.  (Not that the
hymen is a foolproof method of detecting virginity in females,
but it's correct often enough that it has been the cause of a
great deal of trouble for us through the centuries.)
