"Now I don't know how many people like to drive a Beetle at that kind of speed (on purpose) but I know I'd rather go down Brickmaker's Kloof on a bicycle with no brakes! Driving any car at that speed in anything other than an expensive German luxury car on a long, straight autobahn is enough of a risk (let alone the risk of hitting anything) " but if you try that with a Beetle and add a light crosswind, factor in some rubber peeling off your tire, and you'll more than likely find yourself dancing alone in a dark corner without any music."

"My dear fellow " Said Albert, turning to Franz " here is an admirable adventure; we will fill our carriage with pistols, blunderbusses, and double-barreled shotguns. Luigi Vampa comes to take us, and we take him - we bring him back to Rome , and present him to him holiness the Pope, who asks how he can repay so great a service; Then we merely ask for a cariage and a pair of horses, and we will see the Carnival in the carriage , and doubtless the Roman people will crown us at the capitol , and proclaim us, like Curtius and the veiled Horatius, the preservers of there country." Whilst Albert proposed this scheme, signor Pastrini's face assumed an expression impossible to describe."

"My ship " the Demeter, was a star-liner operated by the Red Star Line. I say 'was' because of the events you will read about in this account. This is a long letter, I know, but I had quite a long time to write it. You probably already know this, having seen the commercials running on all the major channels for the last twenty years or so, but the Red Star Line is the largest cruise operator in the known universe. Unless something has changed between now and by the time you read this, this is probably still true. In fact, customers of the Red Star Line get more quality, value for money " and smiles by Demeter than they do anywhere else. Okay, okay. It's an old joke " corny for sure, but what the hell."
