Oh my...Too much drinking might prevent the vigorous
entwining of Bacchus' vine with anything.

Are the lusty maids and their god fleeing from their
own incontinence (a : failure to restrain sexual
appetite : UNCHASTITY b : inability of the body to
control the evacuative functions) Or are the maids
fleeing from their god's incontinence, or are they
fleeing in search of balm for their passions?
hmmmm...

I hope the trimming is not of the Bobbit variety...
