Since he was beside her and not behind her, he was the only one aboard still smiling. I wonder if a barf bag would have helped.

> Ewww. This reminds of the time when I was about 12 and my sister was 8 and we were going on rides at the county fair. We got on this particular ride where the cars spun, the cars moved on a belt around the "arm" of the ride, and that "arm" turned over and over. The first time our car spun, my sister very nearly lost her lunch. So, for the remainder of the ride, I used all of my strength to keep the car from spinning again. It was worth it, because I did NOT wind up becoming my sister's barf bag.

I could never figure out why being tossed around like a rag doll is considered fun, and being tossed harder is more fun. Is there some innate human need to be pulverized by attempting to match the strangest velocities available? Or just to seek danger?
