Up Front: It's Not Sex, and It's Not Education, in reply to Max Rose,
A Garth George piece.
Excerpts of special awesomeness:Can you imagine a female schoolteacher standing before a class of 15-year-old girls and simulating for their edification the noises she makes while in the throes of sexual orgasm?
A bit too much subconscious oversharing, there, Garth....

least likely to actually DO it.
In all senses of the word?
For the purposes of reproduction only, children! Like your mother and I did!

Busytown: Sons for the Return Home, in reply to BenWilson,
Google image search. Try "car topiary" to get 204,000 results.
Bah! Bet you're the sort of guy who goes to a magic show and spends the entire time shouting 'it's up his sleeve!', 'the hat's got a false bottom!'.
I would have got away with it if it wasn't for you pesky kids.

Brigid and I play a game on the train in Bangkok sometimes to kill a moment - you see an antipodean (they stand out strongly) and try to pick whether they're Australian or New Zealanders.
I used to play a similar game when travelling round Indonesia and strolling on the beaches. Picking the nationality of the tourist group I was walking past. The English were embarrasingly easy, being round and red with a tendency to waddle.

I'd still caveat that with leaving out the car or motorbike.
Depends how 'custom' (and therefore emotinally attached) it is.
I have a friend who brought his old matchless over in a container years ago, and still hasn't got round to putting it on the road, but he doesn't regret doing it.

Hard News: LATE OCTOBER: Life in the…, in reply to Jackie Clark,
But then there is the general sense of never getting it, and never understanding why you don't quite fit in.
I've learned to cover up my shyness and otherness really well, apparently.
Yeah, if we're lucky we learn and refine strategies and coping techniques as we get older. I'd argue that that is (a small) part of learning to define and accept one's self as the outsider.
