Subject: unicyclists get more girls
Reply to author | Forward | Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7153584.stm

from teh article:
"He suggested men might respond aggressively because they see the
other unicycling man as a threat, attracting female attention away
from themselves.

"This would be particularly challenging for young males entering the
breeding market and thus it does not surprise me that their responses
were the more threatening."

I always assumed it was just my good looks - now it seems they were
only after my unicycle.

regards,   Ian SMith

Hmmmm... one of my early meetings with Roos was when she spotted me on
my Muni riding along by the Tay and came and said hi...

It wasn't your unicycle that did it - Roos is not daft - she recognised a
handsome devil when she saw one!

Festive cheers, helen s

It would be churlish to argue with that sort of comment...

Happy Christmas, may Santa bring you new specs, etc. ;-)

A colleague bought a unicycle for a present, and it was delivered to work...

Well, I eventually managed to stay upright for, oh, about a second!!!

:-)

It was the bib-shorts you were wearing - not the unicycle.   Silly!
