I didn't take offense TL, so I was surprised at re-reading my post that it came out as defensive as it sounded in the last couple of lines. It certainly sounded funnier and more matter of fact when I wrote it.

With a smile I still remember this horrified matronly tourist fleeing in the direction of the resort knowing not which way to dodge to avoid walking under a tree. I don't defend the deplorable actions of my youth - kids can be so cruel ;)
