Throwing Stones at Girls

In preparation for my show I've been learning a lot about how children go through puberty. And I've realised that it’s not just about maturing physically, it’s also about maturing emotionally - something boys are particularly bad at. I’ve got this friend called Ali and he’s terrible when it comes to the opposite sex. He’s in his thirties and he still throws stones at girls. Can you believe that? It's not so surprising - he lives in Saudi Arabia, that’s what they do. But even though he's a really good shot he still can’t get a girlfriend. Growing up can be tough, eh?

It's a bit minging but fair play to the echidna - I'll never look at these creatures in the same way again.
