paulledden 0 #1 March 9, 2005 An English friend of mine came back from some sort of Skydiving Convention (she called it) in the USA. She brought me a T Shirt as a present with a motif on it "The Muff Brothers". It also had some pictures emblazoned on it of very old men with parachutes on their backs. I recently visited the USA and on several occasions whilst walking around in various US cities with my family I heard people shouting 'Hey Asshole' I didn't think for a minute that they were addressing me. However, on the sixth or somesuch occasion my wife stated that she thought otherwise. I ignored them naturally. However another American man then approached me and wound his middle finger up as if with an imaginary winch and said right to my face "You're number one with me pal!" When I challenged his rudeness he said it was because of the T - Shirt. What on earth is going on? Confused!The probability of being observed is directly proportionate to the stupidity of your actions at the time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #3 March 9, 2005 Hey asshole! WHHAAAAAAAT? I like it when my friends tell me I'm number one. Eitherway I've been to rude cities and very friendly cities in the US...I'm sure its the same everywhere else in the world (except france, obviously).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

ladyskydiver 0 #9 March 9, 2005 Well...I'm going to try and not take this as a troll post. If you really don't know, do a search on "Muff Brothers," and you'll find a lot of answers to your...errr....question. And...the appropriate greeting/response to a Muff Brother is "HEY ASSHOLE." Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
