@[robertuyt:40522] Oh, and I meant to add: I think "He\'ll close in when he seems so distant" and "He\'ll get on top of you when you lower your resistance" are really referring to the assistant\'s seductiveness (a young lothario seeming cold and aloof at times, when he\'s really just playing hard-to-get and biding his time, waiting for the right moment to make his move). And the latter line also includes another medical pun (lower resistance). |

Good analysis above, a lot of stuff I never thought of. The only thing I\'d question is the "assistant\'s" job. With the medical and lab-tech puns, I took it that he was an assistant in the doctor\'s office.\n\nHe\'s absolutely *indispensable*\nHe keeps the other boys *in suspense* |
