 DS>   Something that I noticed at the army base these past few days was the

 SD> From my experience, it's extremely common and if you don't have at

I have noticed that since the low-slung hipster jeans became popular a
lot of young ladies display a small, tasteful butterfly or similar at
the top of the rear cleavage, where the male gaze naturally falls.
 
 SD> And not to sound morbid, but it's a good way to identify you if you

 SD> family to identify the body and/or body parts).

A good point.  If you are a criminal it can also be used as an
identifier.  Long-term prisoners often have them done in prison.

 SD> I very nearly got a tattoo of my ex-wife's name on me when we first

 SD> I'm glad I didn't. :P

Very wise.  My youngest son had the name of a previous girlfriend
inscribed on his chest.  Later, he had it covered by a tiger.

      Title: Baby Squid Seated on Their Own Ink
 Categories: Squid
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      2    Kilos Squid
      1    Kilo Tomatoes
      4    Onions
      1    Leek
      5    Green Peppers

  Clean the squid and keep the bags of ink separately. Cut off the fins
  and the legs and add into the squid. Saute for 2-3 minutes and place
  in a clay casserole. Prepare the vegetables by chopping finely. In
  the same oil fry the onions, garlic, leeks and the peppers. When the
  vegetables are well sauteed, add in the peeled and deseeded chopped
  tomatoes. Season to taste. Leave to cook until the sauce has
  thickened. Add in the ink and mix well. Pour the mixture into a
  blender and blend until smooth. Add to the Squid. Leave to cook for a
  further 5 minutes under a low heat. Serve with fried bread or white
  rice. Serve hot.
