    Come to think of it you are absolutely right and recalls an incident that I had forgotten about.
    An English friend of mine was working in Oslo and, like virtually all of the other foreign contract workers at the company that hired him, he had a girl friend, even though though practically all of them were married and living away from their respective countries. Every six weeks his wife would travel to Norway to stay for a week and the girlfriend, naturally, had to disappear from the scene during that time. On one occasion, the day before his wife was due, his girlfriend said that she couldn't find one of her earings and they searched the bed for a long time but were unable to find it. Needless to say, the day after her arrival, his wife found it while making the bed; he told me that she didn't speak to him for the whole time she was there.

    The missus, not talking for a week, sounds like bliss

    I have a hand bag. It's filled with chalk (for climbing) and super glue (for first aid)

    I guess handbags aren't that bad...it depends what's in it...


    What's in YOUR handbag?

    Your name seems to indicate a woman, although I know that Carrol can sometimes be used by men but I am intrigued to know why chalk is used in climbing; I'm not sure about the superglue either.

    I think that superglue can mend any cuts...seals them right up...

    I don't know if it works on a compound leg fracture though...

    Did anybody check to see if this girl is old enough to be drinking a beer?

    We must protect this masculine preserve from these pesky women....especially the young and pretty ones who will put our resolve to the test.

    Can I stay if I say my purpose is merely academic? I'm doing research on the male species.

    All women do that and start long before they are 17.
