Now I am Southern enough to know that sorryness, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. And to refer to an individual specifically by that feature is common, everyday discourse.

I can assure you, gentle reader, that I have no desire to empirically test that hypothesis! Megan Fox's, yes!

Too bad, Elvis. I can see a great title for a paper: "Endothermic properties of Nancy Pelosi's derrière." I'm sure that Science would publish it easily.
