Yes ma'am, I do love plywood & relays. But I would never put them before you. Why would I do that? By the way, you would never be left behind in favor of that stuff.

Honest.

    I hate it when articles like this come out and people start analyzing each other's gestures. I remember years ago an article came out about how to tell genuine laughter from fake laughter - something to do with the eyes closing and the head tilting. A couple of colleagues, who happened to be married to each other, told me about the article, and sure enough, at the next stuffy office cocktail party, there they stood, across the room, chatting with their boss, and each time the boss ended his supposedly funny story, both man and woman closed their eyes, tilted back their heads, and laughed in unison. It was one of the most bizarre, wooden, self-conscious acts of butt kissing I had ever witnessed. And I cringe to think how many men have worked hard to get their hair to whorl the other way 'round after another article came out some years ago about that.

    Yup, the Smile that passes for news these days is mystifying. If I read one more "how to to save gas" article that says accelerate slowly, combine trips and change your air filter (just WRONG in the fuel injector age), I'll keel over.

    Or maybe just post about it. :)

    Wait a minute. I should accelerate as fast as possible, make a separate trip for every destination, and never change the air filter?

    Sounds like a conveyor would be the ideal solution here.
