I'm reminded of a legend about Cupid wherein close enuf is almost good enuf.
Once upon a time, Pan wanted to know why Cupid didn't have a tail.  Cupid 
explained.  Coming upon them lavish over budget pearly gates, he shot Peter 
the Gatekeeper with an arrow.  Peter, of course, immediately fell in love 
with Cupid and eager to indulge with cute cherubic Cupid led him thru them 
extravagant gates.  Now the Archangel Gabriel saw what was about to transpire 
and rushed to slam them gates shut.  Slam bang!  Ouch!  Them gates caught 
Cupid by the tail, severing it off.  This he explained to Pan, was how he 
lost his tail when he went to heaven where a mean archangel prevented him 
from having a gay time by giving him a sore butt.

I see you're getting scrappy about this. -)  As a kid I liked collecting 
them.  I it weren't for the likes of you that teach carpenters to be perfect 
I could get more and glue them into interesting wood sculptures.
