    Cooties weren't a concept for us.

    Even without cooties, in most schoolyards, the girls will play
    balance & coordination games (hopscotch, skip rope, &c) while the boys
    play physical speed & strength games (ball games, 'play'-fights &c).

    I believe you when you say you & 3 boys hung together a lot. Did you
    also play games with more minor aquaintences? Did you play ball,
    or did Dave, Tom, & Gordy skip rope, or did you only join in with other
    lids for less gender-segregated games, such as tag, Simon says, &c?

    We played ball and war and stuff at home. At school, we played
    tag and such. My rope-skipping skills were not impressive.

    Excuse me?  I was never attracted to females at point in my life.


    Apparently it is quite common for males and females to be curious,
    to have fantasies and perhaps even experiment.

    Dave, I don't know about guys but it's not common for girls to do that.
    It's mre of a guy's fantasy to think that.

    I have heard the village people song... so Carols version seems to be
    true. She probably also has observational proof from... the
    navy...

    yes, you can sail the seven seas
    In the navy
    Yes, you can put your mind at ease
    In the navy
    Come on now, people, make a stand
    In the navy, in the navy
    Can't you see we need a hand?
    In the navy
    Come on, protect the motherland
    In the navy
    Come on and join your fellow men
    In the navy
    Come on people, and make a stand
    In the navy (In the navy), in the navy (Oh)! =D
