701.

You were on your game, Rick! Kudos to you, even though you win nothing special. It took us forever to reach 700 as there are only four of us now, and often we are usually asleep. Thanks for being awake!

A highway patrol car followed a car which had exceeded the speed limit. After putting on his lights he followed the car to a stop in a lay by.
He asked the female driver to produce her driving licence which she did. He proceeded to explain what she had been stopped for and started to write a ticket for the offence. At this she started to get belligerent and argumentative.
"Everyone knows you don't issue tickets to the pretty girls" she said.
His response was short and to the point.

"You're right!
We don't
....sign here".

Worked for me in my younger days.

Haven’t been stopped as an old lady.

Concerned.

A young cousin of mine had to go full tilt a few years ago.

I told her: “you’re far too pretty for tickets and more. Next time flirt, smile, and promise to be a good girl”.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Next time flirt, smile, and promise to be a good girl”.

Was there a next time? Did she promise?

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Since we are now discussing things to do with cars...

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Continuing the car puns...yep, "been there, done that" on a bench seat in an Olds F-85.



...and now she costs a fortune to date.

I think many teenagers experienced that life.

Not me. I never had a column change.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Not me. I never had a column change.

I had to google "column change" BB, as I'd never heard of a column gear shifter called that. There were ways to work around it though. Also, some opted for the back seat where there was still a stick-shift to contend with.

That's why your boyfriend said "Ow" and not "Wow".

Another introversion tidbit: There was an introverted woman invited to a Halloween costume party who said she would go as Amelia Earhart. She never showed up.

Here's a public apology to BB. I didn't take his liver post seriously (well, the thread title did lead me astray). I knew we only had one liver apiece but I have since learned that it can be divided or sliced so I have been made aware of BB's extraordinary gift. I've belatedly given his post a and I'm giving him another here.

If I ever need a new liver I will know where to come for a "free" slice.

Nah. In one job I had I inherited maintenance of a program that everyone in the department used. It was complicated and for kicks I ran its code through another program that analyzed it for bad coding. It came out with a score 10 times the score to qualify for unreadable.

I added something to bypass all the bad stuff and fortunately people used that instead of the old stuff so I never had to fix a bug.

This is like a foreign language to me. I have no idea what you are saying and on about...no matter though, "all good"...although someone may know and understand, although there are only four of us now.

You guys provide the hides.

Because I'm holding the fort (temporarily) for this side of the Atlantic, I thought I would mention that we use the word "dear" in different ways to our cousins on the wrong side. It is majorly used as a synonym for "expensive" or "high in price".

Ah, Merriam-Webster located in my old hometown. I had a visit in high school. Fascinating on how they kept track of word usage. Back in the day everything went onto 3x5 cards stored in wooden cabinets. Much like how libraries kept track of their books.
