It’s funny when Karen does it; it’s downright creepy when Howard Stern does it. But that’s probably just a difference in approach.
Then again: there’s ever so much more of the one than the other.

Samuel Delany says that he always says “that if gay men and women didn’t exist, straight men and women would have had to invent us.”
Which might well explain Joxer and Ares, but not Buffy and Faith.
