You don't understand when you hold a door open in Holland, the whole population
tries to squeeze past. One of the perks for polite men is that amongst the
population are buxom long legged girls.

The buxom long legged girls are not always pretty.

It was Tim's suggestion, not mine - I've never had spare
cash to put his theory to the test.

Believe me, if travel to Europe did not require a twelve
hour flight across most of the North American continent plus
the Atlantic Ocean, I would share your preference!

Excuse me? I think most of us here define "bad behaviour"
as annoying fellow-passengers unnecessarily. One expects
adults to be considerate of the rights of others, and
children should be taught to be so, also. (Although one
makes allowance for their youth, unless the annoying
behaviour is due to parental inattention.)

Don't even suggest it! As it is, many modern performances
of opera tend to ignore the traditional intermissions (aka
"potty breaks") to the distress of many of their listeners'
bladders!

LOL! The kids around my apartment here can be rather rowdy
when they come home from school, but to my surprise, one of
them the other day was carrying a violin case! (A guitar
case would be less unexpected, although here in the USA most
public schools no longer offer music - maybe there's hope
for Arizona, after all.)

Not quite the same mystique! (It was violin cases that
reputedly housed the "tommy" guns used by 1930's era gangsters.)
