Well, according to the poem, if a certain part of your anatomy is long enough, you could suck it.

There once was a man from Nantucket

Who swore he could handle the bucket.

White lines led the way

Till his pulse slipped away,

Now the docks keep the secret he plucked it.

Would be a good alt history if ted Kennedy did cocaine instead of alcohol and didnt crash in Chappaquiddick. Then he could've won the 1976 election and come up with an even more deranged coked up idea to save the hostages in Iran.
