    I have to share this although it hardly has anything to do with the thread other than being about cars:

    When the girlfriend and I moved from Georgia to Utah we towed a Honda Civic behind the U-Haul, ya know in one of those trailers that only straps in the front two wheels and the front axle.

    She thought it was needed to pull the emergency brake so that it "doesn't slip off the trailer", and so from Atlanta to St. Louis we drove (me without knowing) with the emergency brake pulled...

    We stopped at a hotel one night and thought that we'd take the car off and use it to go get some food and stuff. Getting it off the trailer was fun once I realized there was no brakes at all. Getting it back on the trailer was even more exciting. First time (and hopefully the last) that I had to judge the momentum of a car enough to get it on the trailer perfectly without running off the front end. :roll:

    The mechanic and I had a good laugh about it...

    Good Lord!

    Weren't the tires smoking like hell back there?!?

    :lol::lol::lol:


    that couldn't have helped the gas mileage at all
    81 is now off the air

    The thing I most dislike about the job I get paid to do...which is Dental Assisting...

    I really, really dislike cleaning the suction trap when the day is done...you don't want to know what can get caught in there... :sick:
    Lots of love, light and hugs to you all!

    next time I go to the dentist I'll be sure to eat lots of popcorn...then eat a candy bar filled with nutty caramel-ey goodness...maybe some taffy too...oh and something with poppy seeds and sesame seeds too.... :lol:

    none of that stuff can beat what we found when we did exploratory surgeries and pulled out partially decaying/digested "WTF is that?!?!?"

    yeah, this place is not for the weak stomach types, has a lot of odd stuff, diseased parts in jars, two headed fetus, huge colon. I took my two oldest sons there before a KOL concert a few years ago.

    Yep. They think as an attorney you should know every federal law and the laws of each and every state. And even if you do know the answer off the top of your head and you tell them, they will say, "but my cousin's wife's sister's mother" said....... Well then, why are you asking me if you think they know what they are talking about.

    Also, everyone thinks lawyers are rich. Money just falls out of the sky for us so we should be representing everyone for free.

    Oh my God, kids, we HAVE to go there when we go to Philly for the next PJ tour!

    I hope they sell t-shirts. I totally want a t-shirt with a picture of a two headed fetus on it.
