docseil - thank you. i've always thought that that's what the song was about, and people give me looks when i suggest it. i completely agree with your interpretations, where the Firm Handshake is the act itself, and Catholic computers not being able to bear witness to the sin that is masturbation. This is fantastic for you - he's just convincing himself that the subject of his exploits is enjoying it as well, to further the fantasy. Being up all night to paint the house white... well, you're all smart kids, i'm sure you can see where i'm going with that.
