A naive young girl from a small town was visiting friends in San Francisco. She phoned her mom to let her know how she was getting along.

"Things are rather strange here. I see men who hold hands, kiss and hug each other. They`re called `gays` or homosexuals. Even more surprising, there are women here who do the same things and they are referred to as `lesbians`.

You probably won`t believe this, but some men here put their heads down on a woman`s private parts and do things with their tongues."

"Good Lord," her mom said, "what do they call them?"

"Well, after I caught my breath I called one of them PRECIOUS!"
