Reply to comment by rugbat in Endangered male northern quolls are giving up sleep in favour of having more sex – and it could be killing them, according to a study that investigated why male northern quolls usually mate themselves to death in one season while females can live and reproduce for up to four years. by MistWeaver80

That joke unfortunately falls flat on the yanks, they don't have the same connotation of "rooting". There's a plumbing business called roto rooters in the states, gives me a good chuckle every time I see once of their trucks. Along with the "coït cleaners" from SF
