![“Sorry!I just couldn't control myself!" would be the excuse any virile man would offer to a girl he had just deflowered- after the event. He would offer the same excuse to Jupiter Foo. The King of the Gods would surely blow his top- like Vulcan, the Volcano God!Yak! Yak! Yak![MMT]” quote by Nicholas Chong](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/812/nicholas-chong-4441_control-myself_sorry-i-just-couldn-t-control-myself-wou_216250.jpg)
