I read that whole thing expecting a terrible pun to be just around the corner. It never came, Pufer. It never came!!!

That doesn't matter. How many books aren't in the first person? A good enough story, told the right way, can definitely be about your compadre, dear old dad, lovely female companion, or damn hell vicious cat.

That's actually my story; it happened to me here in Colorado under a tree, not in Canada on a pier. However, if my girlfriend had told me such a story, that's how I would relate it. If you don't have all the facts as you would if it were your own story, make them up within the realm of reasonableness. I set the stage at a real place where I've been up on Vancouver Island. I can picture it, so I can describe it, not that any great level of description is necessary. Nobody is going to call you for absolute accuracy on someone else's story, just make sure that it's an accurate depiction of something, and that the story is worth reading. If anybody gives a s### about the story, they're not going to worry about whether you described a street different, in fact, from the one where your friend's car was stolen from with him in it.

-Pufer

I was meant to be being ironic, and if this would have ever happened to someone I'd have thought it would have happened to you...

That's a good story anyway. There have been times when I have seen things (happy things) that I haven't taken pictures of (there have been many where I have aswell but soon deleted them afterwards) because I just want to keep the memories for myself.

I still want to hear the one about someone trying to steal your car.

I don't understand the point of the "that's what she said" joke (well apart from to be funny).

It's like people are scared of talking about sex and stuff.

Americans are. We find it strange, but they take it all very seriously. See the Janet Jackson nipple incident for example...

You're on the right track, my boy! Jokes are, in fact, meant to be funny!

Some of us, anyway. I'd probably say a vocal minority.

But it's the best bit...

Silly americans.

I just walked out on a documentary about two fat american girls. There parents should be arrested for child abuse. It's pathetic.

I should think that our taking sex seriously is rather better than you Brits finding sex strange.
