If honking will work so well, imagine what a crazy could do with a full supply of RPGs to alleviate the traffic ahead of him…

…or the annoying honker behind him.

I usually just rely on fake tourette’s. Works most of the time.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m anxiously awaiting the report on how to handle long lines at the grocery store check-out!

You know those signs on the back of some SUVS, cars, etc., “Baby on Board”? What about “Pearl on Board”? Or “I break bones and laugh?” Will those work?

Thanks Allah. I really needed that today also. My town has two sets of stoplights. Since I moved back from the US last December, I don’t think I’ve been in a traffic jam.

My Indian co-workers would tell me insane stories about driving in India. One guy said it once took him 3 hours to drive 12 miles.

Rum and coke sounds good.

I think Tequila would be appropriate for this occasion.

Nanosecond:
The measurement of time between the traffic light turning green and the car behind you honking.

(New York minute is just so yesterday…)

These ONN videos are a hoot.

Would those post-amnesty beers be a couple Sam Adams, or a couple Dos Equis?

I’m wondering—after honking if the people in front of you don’t get out of the way, is a flying finger appropriate?

Two post-amnesty beers down, an untold number to go.

Pretty soon you’re going to turn into Mel Gibson.

Sounds like the last time I was in Florida. Light went green and the honking was instantaneous. Every traffic light.

I’m sure that will work really well here in Detroit. I’m guessing that pulling as close as possible to the cars in front of me will make it easier for them to hear my horn.

I’m going to go out and try it right now.

That was really funny. I can just see constantly honking my horn and the other drivers moving out of the way so that I could go through. The “mother” teaching the son how to drive kind of reminded me of my drivers ed teacher. He was puffing away on the old cancer stick too while reminding us that he “controlled our destiny on the road” by deciding if we passed or failed.

Incompetence is spreading like a fire out of control through the national government. When you think you’ve heard the dumbest thing you’ve ever heard, something like this comes up. Its not even Bush this time for a change.

Great idea? Um, not! Around my area honking at someone will get you run off the road or shot…

Isn’t this method already in use in NYC? Maybe it was the original test city.

And have a bullet proof windshield perhaps?
