"What!" exclaimed Jasmine. "That's impossible! And anyway, how could you possibly tell so soon?" "Because the option was written that way," Sid replied. "You don't seem to realise just how powerful and arbitrary the authors are. Besides, look at the sig. This is being written by JH, and he has a pregnancy fetish.

Not only doesn't that turn him on, but he can't suspend his sense of disbelief that far."
