hati: "Ummm... My son is 9, so it will take 9 more years before reaching "legal age"... *faints*"

here the legal age is 15

I'll move to Denmark.

mind you, if an adult over 18 yrs seduces an adult between 15 and 18 the adult *may* be punished, deoending on circumstances

punished .. how??

(until I finally admit I have a midlife crisis my lower limit is (daughter's age +2) that would limit me at 21 now safe, also by Danish standards )

Ah well, I think I'll go to convent.

a convent? as what? as nun? I always wanted to date a nun

No, as a cuckoo.

ah.. you'll have to make up your mind.. convent or clock!

Does it make any difference?

well, probably yes.. in a convent the only fun you have is w*rk.
and in a clock

no, probably not a lot of difference

Well, that's what i am doing right now as well. So there...

what..?? sitting in a clock? or a cloister?

Having w*rk as the only fun.

oh dear .. .. life is hard Hati & but surely writing all these brilliant articles must .. give some sort of .. good feeling?? no?? ??

Only if they are written and sent away. Not before that.

ah.. like in a .. the best part is in the end

Exactly.

I see.. so in fact all this journalism business is something like .. you spend some half an hour or so wrecking muscles, trying to wring yourself into unnatural positions and try to avoid serious damages to yourself or the ceiling, and then there's a few minutes glory and.. off to the next article?

I cannot put my finger on it but it does sound familiar..

Well, yes, exept that it takes more than half an hour.
