ROFL!

Didn't know you could just take the train to Australia. All the people

I know had to fly to Asia first and then further to Australia. Must be

a loooong trip with the train, as it's already very long with a plane.

Oh man ( and I was already planning my trip, with all the trains

discounts I can get. Plus what you hear that there are so many males

available in those trains.

I don't hear any more guys saying that those 10 % are all in someone's

head???

Anyways, to add another funny story (to the Philly bar story), I went

to an ice rink with a friend and while it's rather normal to come into

contact with some people because they just can't skate properly (yeah,

me, too, I can't stop), one day, someone from behind grabbed my hips

in a way, a partner would do and I fumed, looked at him to see who was

this dumb and this guy was looking back sheepishly and I realized that

he'd been skating fast, couldn't stop on his own and didn't want to

run into anyone and used me as a brake and therefore, my hips are

the better part, because of the center of gravity than my shoulders

(not that this would be a problem with me personally, as I'm in

control and don't fall because of anyone doing anything).
