Here's a another true story: A friend of mine lost her hard lens when it fell into the loo (after she'd done a No.2) and she had to fish it out....

In my hurry, I ignored it. Once seated I realised how terribly I smelled of gasoline. The unfortunate individuals sitting close to me realised the same as well.<BR/><BR/>Thank goodness there was 'no smoking' permitted in the theatre.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-25151589240082520302008-06-05T15:48:00.000+01:002008-06-05T15:48:00.000+01:00"6th grade Indo-Chinese end of year performance"??..."6th grade Indo-Chinese end of year performance"??
