I am reminded of a story.

We were having a little party one dark night and American Steve Serious walked up, reached into the car and turned the volume knob down on the stereo then stormed off. Which was kind of silly cos when we turned it back up we had no idea of the previous setting and it may have been louder.

Another campsite denizen, lets call him Jon, then returned and we told him was had happened. Then Steve walked up again. Jon greeted him warmly, grabbed his hands and they started whipping each other around, reaching a great speed before they broke apart and flew off in opposite directions.

I picked up a fire stick and walked over to Steve to see if he was OK. And he was on his knees wailing that he'd broken his nose. Then I walked over to Jon who had rolled into a nearby campfire. There were six guys with beers in hand looking down at him. I asked him if he was OK, at which point Steve walked up and kicked him hard in the ribs. Jon had his eyes closed and grabbed my legs and I sank to the ground, assuring him that it wasn't me who kicked him.

I had an unlit cigarette in my mouth. I then looked up at the six guys. "Have you guys got a light?" They looked at me strangely. I then realised I had a burning branch in my hand. "Don't worry, I'm right." Lit my cigarette and returned to the party.

And the moral of the story is ...no I lost it...
