                                        word, top left. 
                                      Wow, sperm,
                                        sperm, everywhere! Which
                                      leads to the secret theme
                                      of the book.
                                    The text exploits the dual nature of
                                        the word GERM, which
                                      comes from the 
                                      Latin meaning BEGET, which leads
                                      to SPERM. But Americans  
                                      usually use it to mean a disease-begetting
organism,
                                      thus the 
                                      discussion of syphilis and
                                      gonorrhea. But
                                        that's the way this manual 
                                        regards sperm. And the
                                      American Health Association could
                                      always claim
                                        it 
                                        meant disease organism, not
                                        sperm, thus not violating the
                                        law.
