It was the most sexist and chauvinistic game we used to play, as young men who didn’t know any better. You would nod towards a woman in the bar and say to your fellow piss-head: “Would you?” And he would reply, “I’d crawl a thousand miles on my hands and knees through red-hot coals and broken glass!” Or he might say, “Not even with yours, mate.” A variation would be to declare that you would be willing to have sex with the next woman who came through the door. Much laughter when it turned out to be a Barbara Cartland look-alike. Or we might measure a woman’s sexual attraction by the number of drinks we would need before we would sleep with her. All this implied that we ourselves were god’s gift to women, which most emphatically we were not (as you can see). I only hope that young women played the same or similar games to even up the score. I would have been assessed as “At least fifteen Bacardi and sodas.”
