Personally, I've never swooned. I've fainted once, but that was at marching band practice, and it was pretty hot out at the time. Doesn't count, really.

Oh, I forgot one earlier--Lord Peter Wimsey. (In the books and, to a lesser extent, the later BBC productions. Ian Carmichael annoys me and is a lousy Peter to boot.)
