One of those small pleasures of life......
I sometimes listen to Amarok at my workplace which isn't to difficult for I'm a truckdriver. Since people expect me to be a country-music lover because of my profession, I get a lot of surprised looks when I'm in trafficjam.
One funny thing I remember happened a few years ago when I went to Milan, Italy. I arrived at the Swiss-Italian border at Chiasso and one of the Italian Custom officers looked up behind his window when I played my CD. He smiled from ear to ear and yelled out: "MIKE OLDFIELD". His collegues looked at him as if he was going nuts. Guess he had a lot to explain during his coffeebreak.
