The day in proposal is already in existance and it is not a holiday. We call it, "LA Traffic". In fact, I do believe each of your rules apply; except, we also allow weapons (semi-automatic of course) and the inability to see over the dash, the hood of the vehicle in use, and lastly the sky. Additionally, we encourage car pooling- only when multi-vehicle colisions are planned.<BR/><BR/>ReachReachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07008577102133873614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17581352.post-1165445346926792232006-12-06T16:49:00.000-06:002006-12-06T16:49:00.000-06:00Lynilu,BEG also uses the phrase "never a dull day ...Lynilu,<BR/>BEG also uses the phrase "never a dull day with you'.

I think the problem is not that people get old, but that the automobile is a prehistoric albatross of glass, rubber and steel that we are forced to drag around with us for a lifetime! <BR/><BR/>Lynilu,<BR/>Now just simmer down my sweet, I was only extending my friends bizarre thought into the realm of nonsense. And as some like to say, "Some of my best friends are old." <BR/>As a matter of fact I think you have hit on a revisionist concept to my nonsense that might actually make sense. The criminals could be sentenced to drive on the holiday and we could rename it "National Bad Persons Fast Driving Day,"...I Like It. Save the decrepit, smelly, forgetful, no longer useful old people and sentence the criminals...brilliant!

You, Sir Seven, are an ageist . . . well, meanie!!<BR/><BR/>Look, I've just discovered how fun it is to be old enough to get away with some social faux pas that are frowned on by younger folks. I've just begun to be personally offensive and get away with it because I'm old. And I like it that many people think I'm smart just because I'm old! Now you come along with this!! I'm tellin' ya, old age is a hoot and a half!<BR/><BR/>Listen, if we're gonna thin the herd, let's simply tag all the baddies in prison or headed there? How about all the snotty teenagers?
