Tell me something . . . . . .

[Jimbone]

I agree that it's an important (and fun) talent to possess, Jim.

Indeed... but is it a talent you possess? Because I'll need to get my mountain climbing shoes on...

Imagine the stampede of out-of-breath men racing uphill only to find that Duchess has scurried down the other side of the mountain, laughing all the way.

It would actually work out okay for Duchess I think... lots of them are fat and overweight and would never make it to the top. Those that do will be exhausted and likely not pursue down the other side of the mountain after her.

All tolled, she'd likely only have to deal with one or two persistent buggers. Of course they'd be disgusting and sweaty balled by then...
