I pulled the following quote off a Globe and Mail article that seems appropriate here.... “Whenever you drive a car, you need to be civil with everyone on the road,” Stibbe says. “Patience is something we all lack and we overreact — and you could get yourself or somebody else killed.”

She probably [didn't see you] .... just like all the rest of 'em. ya, that rage tends to build up inside a guy and at some point, we "boil over" ... fortunately it doesn't bite us in the azz ... usually. Unfortunately, it sometimes does. Can the simple act of chewing out another driver be considered a felony? Wouldn't there need to be some form of physical contact or verbal threat of harm? Calling someone "stupid" surely can't bring a felony charge.... can it? (if so, many of us are going to jail !)

oh... so you're familiar with blow-up dolls are ye?

Sorry to disappoint ... it's doesn't "Look like" .... it IS

100% agree!

Symantec sukz. At one time it was the absolute best AV ... but those days are long gone. (just my $0.02) ooooops, forgot, we Canucks don't have pennies any more so what I said ain't worth nuthin

A cowboy, who just moved to Idaho from Texas , walks into a bar and orders three mugs of Bud. He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, "You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time." The cowboy replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in Arizona , the other is in Colorado . When we all left our home in Texas , we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I'm drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for myself." The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way. He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn. One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss." The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs. "Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explains, "It's just that my wife and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking." "Hasn't affected my brothers though."

You should be ashamed of yourself for taking advantage of what is your civic duty! :no-no-no: :stickpoke:

I think this part belongs in the Jokes and Humor section LOL

IMHO, while participation as a juror is a civic duty and is also a legal obligation, one should not suffer financially because of that.

Here in Canada, specifically the province of British Columbia .... Your name is picked from the Provincial voter's list You are required to respond to your jury summons. Under the Employment Standards Act, an employer must not terminate employment or change a condition of employment without the employee’s written consent. Upon returning from jury duty, the employer must either place you in the position you held before going on jury duty or a comparable position. Under the Employment Standards Act, an employer is not obligated to pay you for lost wages incurred during jury duty. But you are considered to be in continuous employment for the purposes of calculating annual vacation, termination entitlements, as well as pension, medical or other employee benefit plans. You are also entitled to all increases in wages and benefits you would have received if not on jury duty. You will receive a fee for each day you serve, paid after jury duty is completed. The entitlement for each day spent attending at a sitting or trial is as follows: $20 a day for each of the first 10 days; $60 a day for the 11 to the 49 days; and $100 a day commencing on the 50th day of sitting. Jurors are responsible for their own lunches during a trial. Tea and coffee will be served. When a jury is deliberating a verdict, necessary meals and accommodation will be provided. At your request, a letter for your employer is available from the sheriff that outlines the above fees. You may also be reimbursed for some expenses, such as childcare. The sheriff will let you know what expenses will be reimbursed. Be sure to keep all your receipts.

Ten dollars for the day? That sux! Did they buy lunch also or?

Isn't there a big weight difference between a M109 and a vRod? I'd guess the vRod and vMax weigh about the same tho... yes/no?

"Cars in front of you often appear to be driven by headless people." That's pretty normal around here but we shore ain't in Florida !!

I just heard that Yamaha made an "under-the-table" deal with Polaris a few years ago that since Polaris was bringing out the Indian with full tour package, Yamaha wouldn't compete in the touring market.

From the CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) website No duty is payable on goods imported for personal use, if it is marked as “made in Canada, the USA, or Mexico”, or if there is no marking or labelling indicating that it was made somewhere other than Canada, the USA, or Mexico. Most imported goods are also subject to the Federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Provincial Sales Tax (PST) or, in certain provinces and territories, the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST).

Was out for a ride with my son yesterday. We stopped at a small "hole-in-the-wall" cafe for a bite to eat. They had quite the array of burgers.... - bacon cheese burger - chicken burger - salmon burger - ostrich burger - kangaroo burger - Mexican burger I said to my son... "I wonder which part of the Mexican they use" Bwahaha
