Whom: Shy, spotty, hormonal schoolboy (16) meets shy girl (19) with long hair.
When & Where: In the 1970s, on a bus in Buenos Aires, as they both prepare to descend the steps to get off at the bus stop, the girl first, a step below him.
What were they were wearing: He is in school uniform, she is in private clothes – a skirt and a revealing crocheted top.
He said to her: (Horribly embarrassed) Er, oh dear, excuse me, it looks as though my flies are caught up in your top…
She said to him: You horrible pervert, what are you talking about? Let go, I want to get off the bus! (Sound of sniggering from people queuing behind them)
The consequence was: They were stuck fast, and there was no time to untangle. They had to get off the bus with her pulling away and he pushing out his hips to try and ensure that he didn’t pull her top right off her. It took some 10 minutes, because in the process her long hair became entangled in his zipper as well.
What the world said: Spectators on the bus were amused, bystanders at the bus stop were bemused and the young protagonists were acutely embarrassed. He has not forgotten it to this day.
