True story from when I was VERY much younger than today.

I was out for a drive with some friends and was in the back of the car with a girl who after a while asked why, when the car turned in one direction she fell over me, but in the opposite direction I never fell over her? Well, as I say, I was very young and innocent and there is no way I could excuse my behaviour on that day now but then I did the thing that seemed most natural ... I gave her a lecture on the equations of motion in a circle.
