Slog - Comments on Hey, Those Aren't Stress Balls! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/01/hey_those_arent_stress_balls A judge in Halifax, Nova Scotia, had this to say about a case before his court: "This could be a letter from Savage Love."

All he asked in exchange was a chance to practice the "reflexology" massage technique he was studying at school. Once the move was completed, the aunt was first to get the massage.
