Now if I could only find a coupon for a place that teaches Violin Tangoing.

Any guy can dance, but how many can Tango? Just think of all of the women I could seduce with mi caliente adornos.

And then once I have worn her out from dancing all night long, I can relax her with some glissando, before I show her my legato con legno.

A functioning cog in some great machinery serving something beyond me
