    It's Cary Grant and Roland Young film for me. (Saw it as a kid - TV - c1953 - I'm not that old.) Did you ever read any of the Thorne Smith novels farces?

      Seems you were made the victim again. Somebody 1-voted you for no apparent reason. Nothing compared to your real ordeal, but I still fived you for sharing your story with us. :thumbsup:

        It is not appropriate to disparage a race of people here in the lounge. We are a racially diverse community here and everyone is respected for their knowledge not for the color of their skin.

          This is the first good thing to happen out of smoking, AFAIK. :)

          Well, I quit cigarettes in 1995, so that's why I had the pipe tobacco. But probably the best to come out of smoking was quitting altogether a year or so ago.

            actually, it might be more effective if she was cleaning the shotgun and racking a few shells when the boy shows up. :)

                In the US, there are whites and red-necks. What you are id defined by how you act. I don't think the guy who smashed his window and stole his stuff should be called a 'fine upstanding black citizen of South Africa'. I might not have chosen a racial term, but it would have been just as nasty.

                    ...of a smash and grab. For those of you that don't know, a smash and grab is when the kaffer smashes your car window and grabs usually a handbag or what ever else is reachable. Me and my girlfriend were on our way out to go have dinner at a restaurant, just as I got off the highway at a red traffic light it happened. For my jozi people it happened as you get off the highway from benoni towards boksburg on the way to the east rand mall, i think its the rondebult off ramp. Right at the robot where your facing wild waters. Its so fast I can't describe it, not even to myself. It was all over in half a split second. The fucker came out of absolutely nowhere! I just saw a black hoodie and the next thing i saw was him jumping the barricade on the left and ran down towards the highway. My adrenalin was pumping so hard that I hyperventilated, after that I couldn't feel my body for a good 10 minutes, all my muscles contracted like mad. I couldn't even grip my steering wheel. then just pins and needles all over. I drove us home and we phoned the police Were both okay though

                          In Texas, we carry guns for just such occasions. In my case, I have a .40 caliber in a holster on the center console down by my right knee, and a couple of spare magazines in the center console - 36 rounds of hollow point goodness.

                          .45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

                          So, the question is: Should the death penalty be handed out to petty thieves who steal handbags, or to people who murder petty thieves who steal handbags?
