---------------------------------

familiar scene # 1 - a garage, basement or den in anytown, usa

[spouse walks in on cr list member working on a bike. the bike was delivered by ups to the list member's workplace. the cr list member brought it home and unpacked it while the spouse was out of the house, and just finished stashing the box in another part of the house]

spouse: is that a new bike?

cr list member: nah, it was here.

spouse: really? i don't remember it. when did you get it?

cr list member: i dunno, we've had it, just haven't ridden it in a while...so your sister's coming to town, huh? when is that? haven't seen her in a while, huh?

familiar scene #2 - conversation at a restaurant between a cr list member and spouse, and the sister from out of town

sister: so, how many bikes do you have now?

cr list member: i dunno, 10 or 12

spouse: i thought you had more than that.

cr list member: maybe for 14, i'm not sure

spouse: you have more than that

cr list member: around that, yeah, i have to count them again...so when was the last time you were here?

-----------------------------------------

no poll needs to be taken. i'm sure that all of us with more than 10 bikes have gone through situations like the ones above.

hope you enjoyed it.
