Well, they could use the back panel to make one of those pinhole projectors for viewing an eclipse, but afterwards, wouldn't that just be inviting every dog in the neighborhood to sniff their fannies while they slept?

The Rev just checked "fanny" in a UK slang dictionary and now finds herself embarrassed and humiliated (especially since she does not use vulgar slang and even avoids using the correct medical term for certain anatomical parts if at all possible.)

There's even a mnemonic device used in schools that, in part, uses the expression "My Aunt Fanny." The teachers and school children of America must be warned!

But to respond to Nymtoc's question: I don't know, why?

Isn't the larger question going to be how is Fannie Flagg ever going to perform in the UK again?

Does this mean Streisand's impersonation of Fanny Brice in Funny Girl can't be seen in the UK?
