Bob I would take a wild guess at no. 2.  

I know you have a boat and presume it is 100 tons - although that sounds really heavy!

Nope! It's #1

A friend and I were making our way from Massashusetts to the concert when we got our collars felt for hitchiking (it was against the law) and we were returned home; we were both only 14 years old. We only had about thirty-miles to go.

Ostriches are frequently ridden James, especially around Oudtshoorn where all the old ostrich palaces and farms are.  They have races with jockeys as well and are ridden in the same way you would ride a horse (not on its backside, lol)

Still an all you are correct James - just didn't fancy it!

Cathy you are right.  Even when I smoked I never quite hit a pack a day.  Haven't had one now since 1997.

Bob, I actually had 2 childhood friends named Madonna.  It was quite a common name for little girls in Italian-American families back in the 50s and 60s.

Since my visits here will be rather sparse the next few days, I'll defer to somebody else to keep this thread going.
