Italians will also have to adapt to new fashion styles.

Larger wallets will be needed to make room for euro notes and coins. Euro notes will be wider and shorter, while lira coins were practically worthless and rarely used.

Fashion designers like Prada are already selling "euro-friendly" products with zippers and larger compartments.

Fashion houses are also expected to begin selling trousers with reinforced pockets to sustain the weight of coins.

And then there will be the blow to the ego. It's been easy to be a multi-millionaire or even a billionaire here. With the new euro, Italians' net worth won't change -- but those bank balances may not seem nearly as healthy.

I like that hat. We had one hanging in the living room or a while there when I was growing up back in the '70s.

Chewing Wax:
I have that hat. They used to give them away at the baseball games. Tostitos and hats. It's hanging on the wall.

bela:
What hat? That stupid Sombrero?

Chewing Wax and his friend, (the late)Decoy, of the great state of New York, decided to attend a local Metallica concert at the amphitheatre.Having no tickets (but having had 18 beers between them), they thought it would be easy to "hop" over the nine foot fence and sneak into the show. They pulled their pickup truck over to the fence and the plan was for Chewing Wax, who was 100-pounds heavier than Decoy, to hop the fence and then assist his friend over.Unfortunately for (the late) Chewing Wax, there was a 30-foot drop on the other side of the fence. Having heaved himself over, he found himself crashing through a tree. His fall was abruptly halted (and broken, along with his arm) by a large branch that snagged him by his shorts.Dangling from the tree with a broken arm, he looked down and saw some bushes below him. Possibly figuring the bushes would break his fall, he removed his pocket knife and proceeded to cut away his shorts to free himself from the tree.Finally free, Chewing Wax crashed into holly bushes. The sharp leaves scratched his ENTIRE body and now, without the protection of his shorts, a holly branch penetrated his rectum.To make matters worse, on landing, his pocket knife penetrated his thigh. Decoy, seeing his friend in considerable pain and agony, threw him a rope and pull him to safety by tying the rope to the pickup truck and slowly driving away. However, in his drunken haste/state, he put the truck into reverse and crashed through the fence landing on his friend and killing him.Police arrived to find the crashed pickup with its driver thrown 100 feet from the truck and dead at the scene from massive internal injuries.Upon moving the truck, they found Chewing under it half-naked, scratches on his body, a holly stick in his rectum, a knife in his thigh, and his shorts dangling from a tree branch 25-feet in the air.

Thanks Heruka.

Chewing Wax:
That's just a Darwin Award story with our names switched in.

Heruka:
I don't really think ours was free from a baseball game. We had a lot of stuff like that from Mexico. My mother lived in Phoenix for a large portion of her childhood and young adulthood. And my father spent time in the southwest also.
(Wed Jan 2, 2002 - 2:48:31 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Why are you thanking Heruka?
(Wed Jan 2, 2002 - 2:48:54 pm)

Detlef Sping:
What kind of truck was it?
(Wed Jan 2, 2002 - 2:49:17 pm)

Heruka:
Look, you've made Wax jealous bela.
(Wed Jan 2, 2002 - 2:50:03 pm)

Chewing Wax:
It was a 1983 Dodge PowerRam.
(Wed Jan 2, 2002 - 2:50:27 pm)

Chewing Wax:
I am jealous.
(Wed Jan 2, 2002 - 2:50:38 pm)

Detlef Sping:
Those are heavy.
(Wed Jan 2, 2002 - 2:51:16 pm)

Detlef Sping:
Do you think a Suburban is heavier?
(Wed Jan 2, 2002 - 2:52:01 pm)

bela:
I thought Heruka got bored and wrote a story goofing on you.
(Wed Jan 2, 2002 - 2:52:22 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Oh.
(Wed Jan 2, 2002 - 2:52:57 pm)

Chewing Wax:
I thought he was sending you secret e-mails again.
(Wed Jan 2, 2002 - 2:53:39 pm)

Detlef Sping:
Clowning him.
(Wed Jan 2, 2002 - 2:53:47 pm)

Heruka:
Wa knew that. Which is why he purposely pointed out that it isn't my story. He hates to be one-upped. I've noticed this long ago.
(Wed Jan 2, 2002 - 2:54:24 pm)

Heruka:
Hmm. Secret emails.
(Wed Jan 2, 2002 - 2:54:43 pm)

bela:
No, he hasn't sent me a secret email since the last one about his plans for asking his girlfriend to marry him. I didn't know what to say and I think that he thought that I didn't get his sense of humor, or my response wasn't what he wanted to he figured he wouldn't waste his cleverly thought out email stories on me.
(Wed Jan 2, 2002 - 2:55:24 pm)

Detlef Sping:
a 1983 Dodge PowerRam is pretty heavy though, falling that distance.
(Wed Jan 2, 2002 - 2:59:15 pm)

Heruka:
I'm afraid to email you. You might freak out and take things the wrong way again. But I will break the silence. Would you like to hear the story of my birth?
