The Longest Kiss
by Delfeil de Ton

An Israeli couple recently won 15,000 francs and a trip around the world for breaking the current world record for the longest kiss.
The new record stands at 30 hours, 45 minutes -- more than an hour longer than the old one of 29 hours, 37 minutes.

The event has been represented in the press as something very romantic, but with all due respect for love, after kissing for the world record length of time, the couple found themselves in bed, but each in their own bed, in a hospital.

What was the most difficult thing for the couple during this 30 hours and 45 minutes?
Not being able to pee, they said.

To be in love requires a lot of restraint...
