Just heard a new one-liner from my second daughter, Tari.

[John Schmidt]

She's up from Illinois to have T'giving with me, her sister and family. She was driving to her sister's place a couple miles away and some jerk cut her off. She calmly commented: "Some people are like glow sticks. You need to snap them in half then shake the crap out of them until the light comes on." Took a handful of napkins to wipe up the coffee I spewed on her dashboard.

cursed! That is good!!! What an accurate way to express her point... Easy to visualize, easier still to grasp her message. Please give her our thanks... maybe even a symbolic group hug.

Told Tari that and she agrees. Then added...."if you have to do that much to get the light to come on, you know it's going to burn out fast." The girls are always good for a chuckle. A tale out of school from last night....they had some homemade soup at Toni's house, I didn't go. Apparently the soup was rather rich, causing some "after dinner" discomfort. Andy...Toni's hubby, walked in, promptly turned around and walked out, announcing he'll watch the game in the garage. Glad I stayed home, seems that issue hasn't changed much in nearly 50 years. Get those two together and I might as well leave the room, their mother sits and laughs until she has tears. Good times for a few days.

That is pretty funny. Like Bruce said, give her a collective hug from us. (Glad you get family around for the holidays)

     Even with my o2 cannula in I ran outs breath laughing so cursed hard!  Just barely git my breath back and I read Evans reply!  Only thing better than a laugh? I also managed a ride today!  Far as watchin the T V in the garage-tell him if he ain't blowin the sheets and covers off the bed he ain't tryin hard nuff!  RIDE SAFE.

that is a good one, will have to remember that the next time some idiot cuts me off which will be tomorrow is a daily occurrence.  Welcome to WI!     

Some cutoffs are worse than others like a few days ago a guy tailgaiting me zips to the right, cuts me off forcing me to go into oncoming traffic lane to avoid him  hitting my front bumper, then zooms around 4 cars in front of me in 200 yard stretch doing 90 mph in a 55 mph speed zone all of us doing about 63 mph at the time, in the very foggy morning no less.  Got some real winners living in WI that is for sure.

those glow sticks will not stay lit for long with a-holes like that on the road.
