regret this).

There is a joke about that, actually. A guy was eating in a restaurant near a bull fighting arena and saw a man nearby enjoying a lunch of some huge bull testicles). He asked the waiter if he could get some also and the waiter told him they had to be ordered ahead of time and that the earliest he could get some would be in two weeks. The man said, "ok, put me down for an order." When he cam back in two weeks the waiter brought out a plate with two tiny testicles on it. When the man asked why they were so small compared to the ones he had seen the other guy enjoying the waiter said, "The bull won."
