h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Always handy to take advice from friends...

Back in my student days certain lady friends advocated sitting in the dryers in the laundry for a cheap thrill

I would say that sitting 'in' the dryers was quite an expensive thrill in the long run!

Well if would have equated to 20p a go, however if you were spending that money already on drying your clothes...

Ok, ok, so I can'talways spell when I'm leaning over the side of the armchair typing on my laptop perched on top of a storage box next to me...I don't do that bad considering

No, not bad at all...

I do me best

One dollar Canadian here to dry clothes, or about 50P (well...0.436023 quid)

Much cheaper to buy a device unless you are actually drying clothes at the same time. Of course you could always go to a public laundromat and sit on other people's machines....

The idea was you'd be washing/drying your clothes anyway, it was just a positive side effect

Geez, doesn't going to a public laundry and sitting on some stranger's clothes just reek of opportunity for catching cooties? For goodness sake it would be like a zillion times easier just to do it manually. I like my laundromat, but the people I run into there are not the same ones I see when I close my eyes and smile. And how many of you guys would go to a freaking laundromat to get off? The one I go to is crawling with kids during the day and a hang out for homeless people at night.

Maybe I need to move.

Everyoe 'spot' has different degrees of sensitivity, for some people it likely wouldn't be easier to do it 'manually'...

I wouldn't go to laundrette to get... but then I'm a guy and could get arrested for that sort of thing...

You did realise we were just having some light hearted fun, right?

Well, the resonant frequency of...a certain sensitive part of the female anatomy is around the 33Hz mark (everyone's bound to be slightly different) and thanks to the damping levels on industrial dryers (concrete blocks on springs, classic!) the casings vibrate roughly around that mark (of course if you found one that was g-spot on, excuse the pun, the effects could be devestatingly sublime )

And these were 24hr University laundries, so the likely min. age of people in there would have been 18.

I know too much...

Wait till I show you that book, Serephina

There is no way that my tongue can move at 33Hz... But I can have fun trying...

Nope, can't do it...

Well, I went to my laudromat last night (to do laundry) and noted that all of the dryers there are built into the walls and therefore impossible to sit up on. On a simular note though, I remember hearing that, whether they realize it or not, this is part of the reason so many females love riding horse back.

*Nods in the manner known as sagacious*

I know a lot of women who like riding horses (quite a few who like motorbikes too) and yes, most of them realise

Ah, yes. Memories of posting to the trot...

I took classes in college (I still have my hoof pick) and the first time I got on a horse it started walking backwards, at a diagonal. The instructor was yelling at me to stop doing that and I looked at her like she was nuts and said "You think I'M doing this??" Learned later that they used old show horses and they was reeeeal smart. All it took was a little pressure from one heel and a slight tug on the opposite reign to signal the horse to walk backwards, at a diagonal.

Now I can proudly say that I know how to jump off a running horse. I think she tried to teach us how to jump on to a running horse, but that wasn't happening.
