Here we knock on wood to ward something off, there they touch it.

Hmmm ... does "wood" mean the same thing in Queen's English as it does in the States? If so, I am shocked by your explicitness. If this raunchy demeanor of yours does not change, I shall be forced to request your removal from this forum!
BTW, how much wood were you touching?
Sorry, but I'm not with you on this! Here in the UK those of us who are remotely superstitious touch wood when making a statement, in the hope that what one is saying will not come true, or happen.
Actually, I reached out and touched the bookshelf alongside my desk. If there is no real wood close by, I usually touch the top of my head at such times.

Okay, I get it now. What a relief! "Touching wood." Ha ha! Seems we do things the British way, only more violently.
Incidentally, most American men would pay handsomely for a third arm with the specific use of touching wood. So you show terrific vision there, Mr. Bicknell-Sporrano.

Not arested but stoped by poliece in the park after dark in my kilt.
This happend at the end of our second Kilt night.
My wife and I were walking back down the street to our car, when the urge to pee came upon bolth of us. As thier was no public restroom close we thought we would sneek off into the dark park near buy. Whell just as I was lifting my kilt and she was about to lower her pants. Sudenly a very bright flashlight was shining on us.
And two of "Bozemans Men in blue" came walking over... The asked us if we were with some party that was happening some wear thier in the park. we said no, that we were... um.. looking for a restroom. after a short time of conversation that I can't remember they said that if they walked away they would letus do our buisness. As long as we left the park right away after. We did. the cops were realy cool about it.
Kind-of an emberasing story but thats as close as I've ever been to being in trouble in a Kilt.
