I would think the oval orifice has become somewhat elongated and flacid from 6 plus years of heavy boring, which might cause gases to accumulate in there should there be any further scroto-rooting. Can you say ass-farts boys and girls? I betcha can.

Every time selling momentum gets under way one of the exchanges "breaks".   Funny, never happens when the market's taking off upward.  I wonder why.
