    I owned a 50cc Honda when I was younger, had cars going past me laughing, when I looked behind to see why, there was a cyclist keeping up with me... doh! :rolleyes:

    Cheers :D

    ROFLMFAO Mate, I can sympathise with ya. :D

    But I can beat that. This did NOT happen to ME but a mate of mine. TWICE, DIFFERENT OBJECTS.

    He owned a Honda 125cc [just normal off road/street bike for work], anyway, he starts it up one day, drives out driveway and up the road.

    He hears car horns beeping at him as they pass, and is thinking: "Gee, everyone is friendly today". He is also hearing at the same time, a rumbling noise but thinks it may be the tyres on the new stretch of bitumen they laid on road.

    It was not until approx 1k [almost a mile] that a car passes, slows down and driver waves frantically at him so he stops.

    Looks back and there caught on the extended rear tail lights/indicators, was his daughter's baby stroller/pram hooked, and it was travelling merrily down the road on all four wheels happy as larry, and inside, his daughter's 'Barbie' doll taking a nice smooth ride with wind blowing thru her hair. [she did have her eyes "fixed" in a wide stare though]... ROFL... :D :D

    Next time it happened, it was the garbage 'wheelie bin' that got caught, but he picked this one up *only* a coulple of hundred metres down the road. ROFL..

    Oh, also.... to top this off [he IS accident prone] came home one night, drunk, had tired/sore eyes, reached blindly for some eye drops in medicine cabinet, and promptly dropped in a couple of drops of "Super Glue" [crazy glue in USA o_O]...

    That resulted in an emergency visit to doc.. had his eyelid GLUED SHUT for 2-3 days, until the natural fluids released it.... oh dear... :oops: :oops:

    TAS.....

    EDIT: We *still* give him some "stick" over that, and it happened almost 10 years ago.

    EDIT AGAIN: Just remembered.. oh man.. this is funny. We had a new year's party one year, went to a mate's place with a pool. Having a swim and about 3.00 a.m... all drunk in pool, he says: "Hey Mick, I am hungry, got any snacks?"

    Mick [mate's place] says sure. Puts a dish down near edge of pool, winks at us, and says help yourself. Our accident prone friend, reaches out, grabs a handful of little 'crunchies' and eats.... munching it down, says, this is great, bit salty, but great.. EATS THE LOT...

    Yep, ya guessed it.... DRIED CAT FOOD, Whiska's Seafood Blend I believe it was....another :oops: :oops: :oops: moment..

    I have two brothers, one here in Texas, and another in New Jersey. The Powerball in New Jersey is up to $150 million.

    Of course, we have a written in blood agreement to share the bounty. :D

    Hey! Ronjor my good friend, I think someone is talking a load of Texas type Tosh here....36 fl. ozs. of sweat amounts to 2 full Pints of liquid lost from the body every hour....consequently to compensate for that you would have to drink the equivalent of 2 Pints every hour to stay alive....apart from that, your shoes would be overflowing in minutes....can't think which would be worse, dying or having your shoes brimming with sweat all day, and another thing, the place would look like giant Snails had invaded because everyone would be leaving these steaming sweaty slicks wherever they went....people would be aslippin' and aslidin' all over the place...... :D....Change the name to 'El Skiddo'...... :D :D :D

    In England we get 36fl.ozs. of water forced through our skin from the outside in (Rain).

    Cochise, :D
