bwhahaha
The Liberals (conservatives) lose the election and now of their leaders is caught sniffing women's chairs. classic.
---------------------
An Australian political leader broke down at a news conference Tuesday as he admitted that he had sniffed the chair of a female colleague, local media reported. The confession came from the leader of the conservative Liberal Party in Western Australia, Troy Buswell, who has previously owned up to snapping the bra strap of an opposition party staffer.[/p] Buswell told reporters at the televised news conference in Mandurah south of the state capital of Perth that he would not resign his post, which puts him in line to become state premier if his party wins elections next year.[/p] But tears welled in his eyes and he choked up when asked how his family had reacted to the wide publicity given to the incident since the story became public at the weekend, the national AAP news agency said.[/p] After a brief break for a drink of water, he replied: "These are difficult issues for me to deal with and they are very difficult issues for my family to deal with."[/p] The woman involved in the incident, a Liberal Party staffer who does not want to be named, said Buswell sniffed the chair she had been sitting on at his Parliament House office in December 2005.[/p] The incident took place in front of other staff and was done to get a laugh, she told the West Australian newspaper Tuesday after Buswell had refused to confirm the initial reports.[/p] "I was shocked and outraged and I told him," the woman said.[/p] Buswell has previously admitted to snapping the bra of a staffer for the Labor Party, which governs the state, and has been accused by a retiring lawmaker of making sexist remarks to her.[/p]Buswell needed to change his behaviour, Kim Hames told reporters, but added there was no one to replace him as state leader of the Liberal Party. The Liberals were in power nationally for 11 years until former prime minister John Howard was ousted in November elections.[/p]
He should have said he didn't inhale. lol.

I think that excuse only works for popular politicians. lol
or said "I did not have sexual relations with THAT woman..."
Well to many what 'sexual relations' he had with 'that woman' isn't considered sex. ah ah
So, theoretically he didn't. lol
If it involves a penis...it's sex.
So, lesbian couples aren't sexually active then, interesting.

Ask Mr. Bobbit what his feelings are on that one.

Sure I can see sniffing a woman's camel is frowned upon (has anyone ever smelled a sweaty camel?) but her chair?? Who knew??
Thou shall have no gods before me - Thou shalt not commit murder - thou shalt not commit adultary -thou shall ... I don't remember any thou shalt not sniffeth the chair of a woman ...

Ah Camel no 5, I smell it in Raz Abu Galum national park in Egypt. Yummy, plus I had to seat on a bleeding goat cut into pieces and put into bags behind the wooden saddle. The blood was dripping on my legs. It was great to have all that blood, so "refreshing" lol, plus the blackflies were tickling me, which was good, cos it was a good diversion from my injuries as I cutted the top of my feet in the Red Sea that morning, my body been pushed over the coral by the waves. Lol fortunately, I wore a life vest protecting my thorax, otherwise I would have received deep bleeding scars everywhere. And you know how the red sea is famous for its sharks... LOL am I talking too much about myself here? hehehe
OK, I saw no sharks, that part was invented, otherwise, I couldn't [span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]invent[/span] tell the story, right? (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)
I lived in a camel hair tent for about a year. Luckily in the desert - but as you can imagine when it rained it smelled a lot like ... well ... a wet camel hair tent (plus we burned camel dung in our fire place)
NEVER let the truth get in the way of a good stroy.
So you are familiar with the wooden saddles. I kinda alluded to that in my response to the French couple heading across Mongolia ... I consider myseld a below average horse rider - but still I have a perhaps logged 40 hours on a horse. I fractured my tailbone within 10 minutes on a mongolian horse - crikey rough ride and wooden saddle with a strip of carpet ... bad combo.
Yipes Van Guy....that doesn't sound so good. I think I would have chosen to ride bareback.
A wooden saddle !!!? What were they thinking !

Now that doesn't look comfy at all. I'm sure there is a logical explanation as to why they would use wood?

So basically, I never did horse for entertainment only, and each time it was painful, but yet nothing broken so far. Happy about it and hope it will stay like that.
My big issue with horses is that as soon as you start trotting or faster - at some point you have to slow down - I've not figured out how to stop my forward momentum from driving my testes into the saddle horn - on a side note - I have my suspisions that this very problem for males is the very reason many women love horse back riding....
....bareback. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

Oh .... you can take my word for it - very little comfort here. Not sure why they use the wood ? I do know that during the campains the mongols would not sit in the saddle they would stand in the stirups.
Why don't you get your entrepreneurial spirit flowing, and come up with something cushy. You could be rich Rich RICH ! Let's see, 7 cents a saddle, times 231....plus.........

If you can make it rich selling saddle padding to Mongolian nomads my hat is off to you.
I can introduce you to Dashdiva, and Davagi, Deghi, Gerlee, and a few other guy to get you started!!!

Well I suppose .. a sadle is a bit like a chair - wood and a bit of padding.

as a bit of a Cliff Clavenism
The mongols will often greet each other (especially the older country side guys) with a big sniff - I'm not making this up - I've been snuffed a few times - the logic is that your spirit is kinda like air and they believe that if you have a good smell about you - you are a good person.
How good could a person smell after riding camels all day.
Actually, I can see the logic in their theory.

Pretty good actually. Not sure why but I can honestly say i've never snuffed a mongol that didn't smell pretty good.
Must be the clean desert air. No sweat no stink. Some of my vietnamese helpers I've actually thought about giving them soap - they smell so bad (this is outside in the jungle!!!) Very humid here.

Good call van guy. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif" border=0]
I guess that's where "Smell ya later" came from. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
Yes, it is....and it is.

lol, in Africa some people say "how do you smell" to say "how are you", cause if you have lots of perspiration, that means you're fine. Actually now that I think about it, even in French some people say without even thinking about the smell "Comment te sens tu" (how do you feel) but litterally it's "how do you smeel yourself" ? Expression used for people that are sick.
And here i thought it was just the mongolians that were a little weird - looks like the french are in on it too
