    (what I would have written starting at MoralEnd's fold) --pulled up in Vindolanda Roman fort car park. I said to Helen, "I thought you were kidding when you said an Italian camper van pulled up in Vindolanda Roman fort car park!." Helen said, "No, why would I joke about an Italian camper van pulling up in Vindolanda Roman fort car park?" I said, "I've got to tell Frank that an Italian camper van pulled up in Vindolanda Roman fort car park." (brrring brrring) "Hello?" "Frank, it's Bob. Listen, an Italian camper van just pulled up in Vindolanda Roman fort car park." "What? Did you say an Italian camper van pulled up in Vindolanda Roman fort car park?" "Yes, an Italian camper van pulled up in Vindolanda Roman fort car park." "I'll be right over, I've got to see that an Italian camper van pulled up in Vindolanda Roman fort car park with my own eyes." (Later) Frank said, "Well I'll be, an Italian camper van pulled up in Vindolanda Roman fort car park. What do we do?" I said, "I don't know. I've never seen an Italian camper van pull up in Vindolanda Roman fort car park." Just then, ANOTHER Italian camper van pulled up in Vindolanda Roman fort car park. "Helen, look at this! ANOTHER Italian camper van pulled up in Vindolanda Roman fort car park!" etc.

    Actually Helen is a thinly disguised version of myself and I wrote that fold in or nearby the Vindolanda Roman fort car park and I genuinely could NOT believe that an Italian camper van had just pulled up.

    I assume all of your folds are based on real life experiences, LL.

    My real name isn't Helen, Futique, it's lucielucie. Full disclosure: The reason for my amazement was that when I went to Italy I noticed they weren't short of Roman ruins. Now Vindolanda Roman fort is a fine ruin, I guess, but nothing to write home about to your average Italian.

    Purple Prof and Gibber, you made me laugh out loud repeating lucielucie's line. And Gibber, it's really too bad you didn't have an extra 1,202 characters--too funny! This is one of the best things about Folding Story--the sophisticated, yet silly and goofy humor. I feel so cheerful, I'm not going to wreck it by reading any political news tonight.

    It's a pleasure to make people laugh, m80.
