Heh, Snarl's met my wife. It's obvious you haven't<g>. Brings to mind the other night we were watching some Tom Cruise western and he parked this straight laced woman he was with with a room full of whores for safekeeping. As the women started talking in the background of the scene the straight laced one is heard to ask one of the whores, "Do you really blow?" Best line in the whole movie. -- Old Crow '82 FLTC(P) 92" '87 FLTC '61 F-100 302/C-6 BS#133, SENS, TOMKAT, SLOB#13, MAMBM

It also gets really dicey when your wife - knowing how to countersteer from the passenger seat - tries to steer the bike to take the next freeway exit while you're fighting to remain on the freeway. I think that's why they say a rider should always out-weigh his passenger. |
