Why have at toilet when you can just c*** on the kitchen floor?

If that is what happens when you drive at night, perhaps your eyes are
not up to the quality required to safely operate a motor vehicle.
Time to give up the drivers license.  You can take a horse and buggy,
after all.

I challenge you to find one person in America that would give up
keyless door locks and trade in the clicker for a key.  I bet you
cannot find anyone, at least no one who isn't taking lots of meds.

Oh, so you are the jerk who rides on my tail so close that you can
smell it every time I fart.  Quit making funny faces when I pass the
gas and back off a little.  Or get  radar cruise to do it for you.

Apparently this guy has never been to Atlanta in the summer or
Minneapolis in the winter.  Must be nice.

So you have have never heard of someone running over their little
kid because they didn't see them?  I think everyone would welcome
an extra set of eyes.

I thought you said that you were looking around?  Did you miss
something, didja?

Maybe this guy should change to writing business stories.  I hear
that buggy whip factory stocks are hot right now.
