Well, I once interviewed Kate many years ago and I asked her the very question
of whether or not the mule was used as an symbol of neuterness or sterility.
She didn't really understand what I meant by a mule being neuter or sterile.
When I explained it to her, she basically (in a nice manner) said I was weird.
This, of course, has caused me no end of embarrasment over the years among my
Katophilogical colleages, but it is nice to see that someone else out there is
just was weird as I.
