Because books.

Well, that would really be apples and oranges.

Still hanging in, still have power, only update is that I have red beans cooking on the stove. Mmmmm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm so glad to have my impression confirmed!

I assumed by "driving stick" ita actually meant literally driving a stick shift car.

So did I. Though I did wonder if it was a metaphor for a minute.

But circumcision is far less common in Europe, (and Asia?) right? So it would also depend on where guys are from.

(20-80% is a big range, map makers.)

Yes, and among people born in the US is varies a lot by race and ethnic identity.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No, I mean driving a manual transmission car--is that rarer than not being circumcised? They are both minority things--is one more markedly so.

It is really weird that this is weird.

And the ethnic variance you point out, flea, is what makes the "guys I know" set even harder to define. But if I go with 80-90%, that should be as accurate as counts.

And the driving stats seem to be between 1/4 and 1/3, so driving stick does seem more common that not having a piece of your penis cut off.

If Tennessee has a state song, I never learned it.

I bet you did, although possibly not as the state's song. It's the Tennessee Waltz.

I was waltzing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
Introduced her to my loved one and while they were waltzing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
