Carrol;

"Cocksucker" is a time-honored colloquialism in the building trades.  I
first heard it as an apprentice when I was trying to drive 3" housing screws
into some vertical oak siding.  Since my pejorative remark was aimed at the
NYT, and not at Gary, or any of those who may have at some time in their
lives fit that literal description (including, as an adolescent, myself),
I'll let the matter rest.

So, stop whining.
