Hehe speaking of hitchhikers, I posted this in the movies thread, but this is one of the most hilarious scenes that people don't remember, from Theres Something About Mary
HITCHHIKER : Thanks for picking me up man.
TED : Yeah, no problem. I've been driving for like fifteen hours straight so... I could use some company.
HITCHHIKER : Yeah, I know what you mean. I've been standing in the same spot for five and a half hours. You know they made it illegal to hitchhike in the state?
TED : Really? That must make it really tough.
HITCHHIKER : So? What's going on with you? Are you a salesman or... ?
TED : Hum... No. I'm... I'm... nothing.
HITCHHIKER : I am.
TED : Yeah?
HITCHHIKER : I'm a salesman. I'm gonna start my own company.
TED : Really?
HITCHHIKER : You want in?
TED : Huh... nah... I'm not, I don't really have any... you know... money... or...
HITCHHIKER : You heard of this thing, the 8-Minute Abs?
TED : Yeah, sure, 8-Minute Abs. Yeah, the exercise video.
HITCHHIKER : Yeah well, this is gonna blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: 7...Minute... Abs.
TED : Right. Yes. OK, all right. I see where you're going.
HITCHHIKER : Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin' there, there's 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?
TED : I would go for the 7.
HITCHHIKER : Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8-minute folk.
TED : You guarantee it? That's -- how do you do that?
HITCHHIKER : If you're not happy with the first 7 minutes, we're gonna send you the extra minute free. You see? That's it. That's our motto. That's where we're comin' from. That's from "A" to "B".
TED : That's right. That's -- that's good. That's good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with 6-Minute Abs. Then you're in trouble, huh?
[Hitchhiker convulses]
HITCHHIKER : No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel.
TED : That -- good point.
HITCHHIKER : 7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 doors. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office.
TED : Why?
HITCHHIKER : 'Cause you're ****in' fired!
TED : Yeah... You know what? I gotta pee. I'm just gonna pull over.
HITCHHIKER : Your car seats are making me itchy, man. What are they made out of, cactus? (Ted leaves the car) Only waiting 7 minutes. Total.

You know, the fact is that here priests are very friendly too, but it sounds so fake whenever they are telling you not to drink or smoke, because it's such a pity in front of God, and then theyare doing exactly the same things :groan:

your priests drink and smoke?!?! Hmmm well I guess I understand your point of view if your spiritual leaders are smoking and drinking... I'm sure I would question them if it was like that at my church... but I can't imagine my pastors doing anything like that!?
Arrgh Zlatan, how many words do u need? I haven't studied English for over a year :down: there goes my creativity:
The hitchhiker glances over his shoulder, thinking he heard a car in the distance, and turns back in disappointment. His scraggly beard is overgrown, and scraps of his last meal remain like litter on a dusty landscape. His eyes are sore and swollen from too many restless nights sleeping in gutters and whatever shelter he can find. The pungent odor of sweat and rotting food hangs about him like a cloud.
Several cars pass; the hitchhiker sees their drivers take one glance at him, and as if they can smell him from the safety of their steel sanctuaries, keep driving down the dusty track.
He no longer even remembers how long he’s been wandering for. Days, weeks seem to have passed, but not one person has stopped, even to ask where he’s going. Staring down at his feet as he trudges down the road, he sees the rags that he has called his shoes for so many years. Scraps of stained, mangled cloth hang out, and the elastic bands holding them together are worn and tattered. He doesn’t even feel the searing heat of the ground against his calloused soles.
I'll try get more done... but man I suck at this now :down:
