        <p>What really happened....</p>
        <p align="left">This is the recount of what really happened during the 
          week end trip in Italy, the following content, though not pornographic 
          (well, maybe...) is not recommended for the weak of heart and the short 
          of breath.</p>
        <p align="left"> If you are a child under the age of 18, lock the door 
          to your bedroom, as you won't want to be disturbed by your parents while 
          reading this....If you are a parent of a child of under 18, he/she's 
          probably reading this right now, so you might as well also, to make 
          sure they're not reading any illegal crap, the sort of that there is 
          too much on the internet these days, and by god, if it was up to me 
          we'd make sure all these sick people go to jail, kind of stuff.....</p>

      <p>First a little disclaimer:</p>
      <p>This work is not a work of fiction, it is not my fault if you, or anybody 
        you know, might have been there when the recounted events happened, tough 
        luck for being at the right place at the right time. If you weren't there 
        and would have liked to be there, well, not my problem, so don't sue me, 
        just spend some time on vacation for a change...</p>
      <p>Now, what really happened.......</p>
      <p>As it turned out, i couldn't really mention the real events on the main 
        page, too risky to get sued and all that crap...</p>
      <p>So we drove off from Vienna, the day was kind of gray and snow was in 
        the air, a good sign. We had to go and pick up someone downtown from work 
        and then drive right off. As we went to do the pick up, i was taught a 
        valuable lesson by a friendly male citizen of Vienna: &quot;How to pick 
        up Viennese women&quot;. Anybody interested???</p>
      <p>OK, here it is, and if you don't beleive me, well, too bad, i saw it 
        happen with my own eyes. (and I have witnesses, Britta and Birgit)<br>
        First, go and drive in downtown Vienna, the main shopping street will 
        do perfectly as the chance of coming upon a nice lady are quite high, 
        therefore ensuing better chances of success. As you are driving in the 
        traffic, look about you, staring at all the nice looking girls walking 
        on the sidewalk, making sure you hold their eye if they look back. Now, 
        any driving instructor will tell you that this is dangerous behavior and 
        that before you know it, you will be causing an accident. Well, surprise, 
        that is excactly what you want to do, hit the car in front of you while 
        looking at one of the ladies, making sure she notices you crash into the 
        front car. Of course a not big accident with no real damage will do, otherwise 
        it would be too expensive to pick up...and you would get your driver's 
        licence removed, and would not be able to pick up anymore....<br>
      </p>
      <p>Now, you've just hit the car in front of you, so you get out to talk 
        to the conductor of the other vehicle to assess the (hopefully) lack of 
        damage and explain to the other driver that you were busy looking at a 
        lady while not paying attention to what was going on on the road. At this 
        point, pointing to the lady you were looking at will help a lot, as she 
        will surely have stopped to see what has happened. The pointing factor 
        is the key moment in the picking up situation, it has to be accusative, 
        but not mean, just explanatory that you were obviously admiring the beauty 
        and there is no way in the world that you would take your eyes off her.</p>
      <p>The subject of your attention will feel a little guilty, and come over 
        trying to sort things out and then then trick is done, seeing that there 
        is no danage done, she will not take you for a stupid driver, but a safe 
        man, that just happened to be distracted by a woman of exceptional beauty, 
        and will accept the ride home that you offer her. You don't beleive me, 
        but i have seen it happen, with my real eyes...I was the car in front 
        that got hit...no damage of course, as the other driver seemed to be a 
        professional at this sort of exercise. Now, i already hear the women asking 
        me if it works the same way with trying to pick up men in Vienna, sincerely, 
        i don't know, i never tried and am not planning to. But in the off chance 
        that you decide to come over and try, i do have a tendency to walk around 
        that street quite a lot.............</p>
      <p>Now, to what really happened.......</p>
      <p>to be continued.......</p>
