Bonsoir Senor Don Ron! (I still can't find the 'horns" to place over the "n" on my computer. Désolé !) Thanks for the comment and for evoking two images bound in one symbol: Hemingway's Feria de San Fermin in Pamplona where the "running of the toros to the bullring" and their subsequent dastardly slaughter and the cuckolding ("cornudo" in Spanish, meaning being butted by the horns of the bulls, I suppose), both actions, of course, cowardly by nature.

I rooted for El Toro to run his horn through the pompous getup of his tormentor.
