Thanks I think
No problem!

Just that its frustrating driving near them, shopping near them etc. They tend to be slow and indecicive. I know I'll be there one day, presuming I live that long, but its still frustrating nontheless.
You cleaned up the joke and answered seriously. Awesome.

This is just further proof that not all veggies travel well. They start to stink when you leave'em out in the open for too long.

I still remember the day an old lady crashed into a post office and narrowly missed hitting my son. She confused gears, panicked, and mashed on the gas instead of the brake. She's off the road now, thank goodness.

I whole heartedly agree with TFG. I know the fairs are so reasonable, but I get so angry when I get to my terminal and there's a long line MORE THAN AN HOUR BEFORE THE FLIGHT. I just want to sit down and relax before my flight, maybe even go grab a drink or something and watch the news. I don't want to sit on the floor in a long line of people with luggage around me like I'm homeless. I'm willing to spend a few extra bucks for assigned seating where I don't have to show up to my terminal until it's time to board.

This thread should be merged with the Mile High Club thread. I think it's gross when old people are doing the nasty on your flight to Phoenix.

How many old people could you take on at one time? If they all attacked at the same time?

You'll probably just beat the hickory stick.
