I believe a regiment of British soldiers escaped a Nazi POW camp by contructing a glider with these items, and didn't the Spartans hold back the Persians at the Battle of Thermopylae BC480 with the same things?

Try not to notice.<BR/>2) Leave.<BR/>3) If anyone looks and gets all shaky in the jowls at you, tell them, in a loud clear, masculine voice: "I am going home to get my plastic bags as I have run out."<BR/>3b) If anyone offers you their plastic bag, the bastards with a big stick. Or, if there are witnesses present, refuse and say: "No no, I am fetching my special decomposing bags so as not to harm the environment."<BR/>4) Enjoy the rest of your walk, happy in the knowledge that you have not had to pick up dog poo.franzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400212989359954521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-16839355876183506132008-09-16T08:38:00.000+02:002008-09-16T08:38:00.000+02:00That's resourcefulness for you.
