The first reason cabs in Bangkok are dangerous is that cab-drivers in Bangkok have no fear, and after you've been in a cab doing 120 kmh approximately three inches from the tires of a semi doing 80, well, then you appreciate a nervous driver.

The second reason is that cab-drivers take amphetamines to stay awake. This allows them to make more money, but unfortunately, it also drives them slowly insane. Every so often one of them snaps. The results are not pretty. Machetes, guns, that kind of thing.

Mason felt awkward wearing one of Gallia's old gowns. Previous to her employment in the Edgeworth home, she had only worn a skirt on two separate occasions. They never suited her and she felt more comfortable in men's clothing.

Masculine. A dangerous word because it could mean so many things, and isn't really allowed to mean any of them anymore. Sandra, who is a middle-of-the-road feminist, feels guilty for thinking of her boyfriend Ted as masculine because he likes to watch the fights and is good at fixing appliances. Greta, who has renounced feminism as a self-centered ideology of victimization that undermines the dignity of women, thinks of her husband as masculine because he looks like a Byzantine icon and thunders like an old-testament prophet. Kristine, who has changed her name to Illya in the belief that Troy was secretly a matriarchal paradise to which Helen had fled to escape Menelaus' crypto-homosexual misogynistic energies, is trying to redefine masculinity by dying her male cats pink and naming them “Dawnbeam” and “Young Hag.”
