upperclass twits
Did you know that bungee-jumping was invented by a bunch of toffs from Oxford? Formed in the early 1980s, the
Dangerous Sports Club have:
1. flung undergraduates from a trebuchet (seriously)
2. ridden a grand piano down the slopes of Mt. Corvatsch
3. crossed the English Channel in an inflatable "mellon ball"
4. held a black-tie cocktail hour on a remote North Sea island
Last month, I tried to ride SKIS down Mt. Corvatsch and almost killed myself, so I can't imagine what the piano thing must have been like. In addition, these crazy bastards claim to have invented stair-surfing, BASE jumping, and street luge. And bear-baiting. No, okay, I made up the bear thing. Sorry.
