[nagdu] taxi transport

[Star Gazer]

:) Carol, you are the first woman I've heard want this. I'm laughing more
then I should be right now. 
I've read that American boys and men are one of a very few who stand while
peeing.

May I ask what school you went to. I think training in restrooms would be
very important.

sadly learned this when visiting my  girlfriends parents at christmas. We
had just walked through slush and snow to get to the car. I opened the door
and asked bogart to get in and he promptly, to my horror, jumped up on the
nice clean seats!!

stays on the floor. If they need to, I get the driver to move up the
passenger seat. Some drivers won't allow any passengers to sit in the front.
I govern the dog's face because he wants to stick it up toward the console
to see whasup. Sometimes, he tries to check out if there is a sandwich up
there or sniff the driver. I make him turn back and lay his head down on the
floor or put his chin on the seat. I always get in on the passenger's side
of the cab. I don't know why this is.
