1236532 2011-10-10 01:43:00 ...and I have been trying to form a mental image of how someone wearing a bonnet could be injured trying to stop dumping.

OK - a bonnet as I know it, is a hat - preferably a woman's soft cloth hat secured with a chin strap and a pretty bow, and a dump is something you do in what youse guys call 'the long drop'.

Ergo, the mixed mental pictures.

So - as I see it, you've got a woman dressed in a bonnet with diarrhea and cannot stop same and somehow became injured from this sordid activity badly enough that a newspaper sees fit to place on it's front page.

Why is that a headline?

At least she was chaste enough to try to be suitably attired in her dismaying condition.

FWIW: neither women NOR men with diarrhea are headline fodder in the US. Neither are persons who pass gas nor leak from any other orifices.

What would do you if someone wearing bonnet, was sitting on your bonnet, tried to prevent you from taking a dump when you had diarrhea? :eek:
I'd run him over too!

1236534 2011-10-10 02:10:00 What do you call it in the US? a hood I think? which still could be mistaken for headwear. Should he also be done for indecency taking a dump on a car bonnet?
But seriously, I hope the guy wasn't too badly hurt. Hamilton isn't that big I probably know someone who knows him.

When someone is successful doing this stuff everyone congratulates them, when they fail we all call them Idiots. Perhaps the successful ones are Just lucky Idiots.

1236537 2011-10-10 04:02:00 Well, there are three types of Hood in the US of A: There is the 'hood, which is where the hoods stake out their territoral claims; then there is the hood that covers the engine in their autos (car is shorter and cute kids can say 'car-car ride' but I've never heard an american kid say 'auto auto ride' so they are denied the right to cuteness on that count at least) and then there is the previously referred to 'hood', who hangs out in the first mentioned hood .

All respectable motor vehicles have a bonnet to cover their engine, and so they should, being essentially feminine .

You forget all the other words and phrases they have in the USA for Lucas. On second thoughts, we probably have more of those here, and used them louder and frequenter ;)

I mean - confronting someone for trashing his neighborhood? That's just not thinking I feel.

Agreed. There's not much future in being right - dead right.
