[Nanny Ogg] Bloomers can provide a very useful storage for buffet items. Just remember to remove them before… more intimate encounters. An avalanche of prawn vol-au-vents can really ruin a mood.
[Granny Weatherwax] Ruined mine just reading that.

The subject of wizards and sex is a complicated one, but as has already been indicated it does, in essence, boil down to this: when it comes to wine, women and song, wizards are allowed to get drunk and croon as much as they like.
