Did it then knick your wallet but throw you your fedora and whip, flick you a cheeky grin and catch a ride on a passing cruise ship, fading into the evening light sipping a dry gin and chatting up a widowed countess while eyeing her pearls?

No I landed on it and killed it dead. Not my greatest memory. The next ten minutes after that were even worse, massive panic ensued. Thank god no one was watching. It was only about two foot deep. I eventually discovered this and just stood up and walked out. That stuff don't 'alf chafe when it gets down your pants though.
Hehehehe that's cool! I had a quality panic moment today, out for a trundle with the twins in tow, heard a buzz by my ear so just sped up a little, then saw the bugger in my peripheral and started to duck and dive, though it was gone, few more step then saw it again and went into full jungle bop, grabbed twins and sprinted twenty yards down the track away from the mental hell spawn of a monster hornet only to stop and the boy then picked out a catkin from the birch we had pushed through to get onto the path, it was hanging from my forehead, DOH!
Well, I can see all 3 of you being lots of good clean fun. Emma sounds like a delight and she likes knives, perfect! Jonathan, you really should do a USA tour and play with our snakes and other critters. we have all sorts. I've not seen a snake in a few years but I haven't been looking to find one. I saw a Gila Monster last fall when it was still 90F outside. It was impressive. I was at the market today and there are occasions where coyotes have taken groceries from the patrons at that market, but still no snakes. I know on the other side of the highway there are bound to be loads of them, desert with no houses about. I took this pic there in fact. Perfect habitat and NO quicksand! In the SE US there are huge snakes of all sorts. Many that don't belong. Note that my steering wheel is in the proper position 
Been to the US many times. Arizona is a favourite of mine. I love the terrain, flora and fauna. Unfortunately I had to spend alot of time with an uneducated gun nut who couldn't be persuaded that the P7 was a decent firearm. He insisted that the Glock was the be all and end all and we just couldn't get on from that point. He also used to carry an immense amount of equipment just in case we were hit by absolutely every disaster conceivable.

True, but you inadvertentley posted the picture in reverse.
Here I fixed it for you...
Well, if you start turning them a lot, they will. They aren't meant to go on that side. Why you US drivers give your passengers control of the steering is beyond me. Here in the UK, the driver controls the accelerator, clutch, gear stick, brakes AND steering. Might seem a little weird, but it does work. That way, you don't need two people in the car all the time as well.
You're quite right, you do have double wits. I will know if you ever come to the states, you'll be the one parked on the wrong side of the road, waiting for a passenger to come steer you about. I do wish I could go out with only 2 in the car. With fuel prices as they are we have to fill the car with people to afford to actually drive it anywhere.
Touche my friend
But then I could bring Emma along and we all could suffer at the hands of an idiot driver.
Actually over here it's usually the Mother-in-Law sitting in the the back seat who is really in control.

Top, bottom or switch. To each their own, as long as they enjoy playing with the toys.
We both went out for a play today. We were hoping the Hellion would have arrived from Southey. Sadly it didn't. Probably just as well, it's not for girls.
