Fully 85 percent expressed very favorable feelings about their most recent massage, with 37 percent rating it a perfect ten-out-of-ten. What is striking is that there are very few detractors. Most of those who haven't yet received a massage simply haven't felt a need for it

But this behavior may perhaps be comparable to a man tearing the flesh off a chicken leg with his teeth.
