  1. but … animals can’t drive

    but … proctologists can

    & animals may not drive, but they do pull the cart (& you can see their asses)

    (guess I haven’t had enough to drink to understand; still in logic mode)
    … but, I do hate traffic too

    btw MJA, you know this thread is going to devolve into asshole jokes … yes, you do! 🙂

  2. I think the drivers seat should be a pod out on the front fender/bumper. The passengers are safe back in the cabin area.
    If you are the first, on the scene of the crash, you will drive different.
    The accident rate would drop by 99%.
    Have you ever driven a Toyota Vanwagon?
    Your left foot rest on the back of the headlight socket.

  3. Today everybody drives like they are playing Mario Cart.
    It’s truly frightening.
    When I was teaching my son how to drive I noticed he had no sense of the inertia of the vehicle and that it took time to stop or turn and cars couldn’t do it instantly. That’s when I realized that he perceived being behind the wheel the same as playing a video game. It took a lot of time, patience and lost years of my life to break him of that.

  4. Jethro & Commoncents, excellent points.
    I remember watching videos in high school that made me physically ill.

    Shortly after that, one of the most horrific crashes was a bus full of youths on the way back from Kings Island in Ohio.
    Drunks bastard going the wrong way on the freeway.
    Total inferno and the exit door was compromised.

    Here in Vegas that NFL player doing 150 in his Corvette burned some woman to death a few months back, drunk. The asshole survived which is a testimony to its design.

    Far too many assholes in a hurry as well…

  5. Now that I’m retired I like to take a drive on the expressway during rush hour and sit in the middle lane going about 50mph. With my turn signal on. Everyone waves to me when they go by! So friendly.

  6. This one’s for Brad.

    A few years ago I was guiding a gynecologist on a flyfishing trip. Between casts, we got to talking about his work, the details of which I will not go into here. My comment to him was this:

    I am glad I am not a gynecologist. Because before I was a fishing guide I liked to fish.

    He understood what I was saying.

  7. Everyone hates traffic, but I hate traffic “engineers”. It is criminal for them to charge the taxpayer for the electronic sensors to control the traffic lights and then not to optimize the flow of traffic. How many times have you seen 10 cars get stopped on a major road to let one car through the intersection after just arriving at the intersection? The air pollution that produces when multiplied by thousands over the state lets me know the “green” movement is a joke! (Cars emit much more while under acceleration.) ….and get off my lawn!
