First time in San Francisco, 1986
A friend and myself were visiting this fine country for the first time. Unsure of the area and not wanting to get ripped off by the cab drivers, we decided to go by bus to visit a local aquarium as we'd seen the adverts over town - this place had live humpback whales.

So, we get on the bus (the exact change bit caught us by surprise I must say) and sit back for a nice relaxing ride. Sadly another passenger had decided that this was not going to be so and he was sat directly in front of us. His boom-box was emitting what could only be described as ear piercingly loud noise, apparently this was what passed for music in these parts. I asked him to turn it down. He patently ignored my request. So I asked again only for him to turn and look at me as though I'd asked to shag his mother. He gave me "the bird".

Now my friend is the strong quiet type. Not one for putting up with nonsense and knows a thing or two about hurting folk, he decides he's had enough of this and sets about stopping it. Leaning past me he simply pinches the mans neck and the guy drops like a sack of spuds. The music was switched off in a fluid motion as my friend sat back and began to relax. The rest of the bus erupted in applause.

I have seen the videolog of your journey
and I felt that you placed *far* too much importance on the whales. Some species are just meant to die out. Huge spaceship in the future or otherwise. Who cares if they were going to take us with them?

Well you know what people with near death experiences are like...
As soon he came around it was all "oh we have to save them - you have to take every day as a gift and protect it" and all that tosh!

Took us ages to get him to stop wearing that damn stupid dressing gown...

Well, I think we can forgive him his dressing gown
as having Winona Ryder for a mum would skew anyone's sense of what's right in the world.
