I’ve been busily working on the next Sensory Ops book, and this evening when I was working away, I suddenly had a flash of the movie Demolition Man. Specifically, I had recalled the scene where Hucksley asks John Spartan if he would like to make love. I’m not sure about you, but I crack up every time I watch that movie.
