Sprayback time?
Most DoubleQuotes juxtapose two quotes from different sources: this one uses two parts of the same story (and the headline I’ve used at the bottom of the second quote was the sub-head in the original article).
A light-hearted one, this.
However, I’d rather be sprayed with gold paint than with pepper spray.

Sic et non
The title honors Peter Abelard, whose book of that name was one of the inspirations for my DoubleQuotes.

Snopes tells us that a quote that I used in two DoubleQuotes, purportedly from a CNN report of a university study suggesting that fellatio reduced the risk of breast cancer in women, is a hoax, and I have therefore withdrawn these two DoubleQuotes.
Hat tip to Ralph Birnbaum.
