My aunt and uncle had one. They also had a bar in another room, with a huge dong in one of the drawers. And a huge, tiled bathtub with seating for 4 and ample room for more.

I wonder what shit they got up to back then?! Actually, I guess I can figure it out.

And master debaters, too. Apparently their oral skills were quite handy.
