He drove his car around another car that was parked at the curb letting an old woman get out. He said "I wasn't mad or honking my horn or rushing them, I just pulled around them", and as he drove past, the old man (mind you, my dad is in his early 60's, so for him to say old man, this guy had to have been pushin 80) turned to him and flashed his middle finger!!!

Here in AZ, the average age has gone up 10+ years the past month as snowbirds from all over the Midwest have descended.
No big deal but many of them are EXACTLY like the people described here. Many have no concept of the fast lane versus slow lane and will easily do the limit or 5 miles under in the fast one. Most also do not use their blinkers -at all. There have already been a couple of deaths in the past month within a block (we have large blocks here) from older couples who simply pull out without looking assuming that any oncoming cars will look out for THEM.

Lord,

My son told me the Mexicans at work are always doing that to him. He says back to them, "Is that how many of your parents are white?"

Nothing bothers me about Christmas - EXCEPT - that you can't sell a "Christmas" tree. It has to be a Holiday tree - as per my SIL who is a manager at Lowe's.

All of the Holiday Solstice and Happy Holidays bugs me!!!

Fred Thompson's wife was being interviewed on Fox News, recently, and someone wished her a Merry Christmas. She said, "I am so glad that you made a point of saying that and I am saying 'Merry Christmas' back to you!"

Or the highly exalted Kwanza Shrubbery.

My least favorite thing about Christmas is the song "The Little Drummer Boy."

Stupid song.
