So you are one of "those" guys Sikboy?

When I was in Toronto I used to hate guys who would race up the on-ramp and simply assume those people on the highway should allow them in. On one occassion I had a guy in a Benz try to cut in on me....but I was driving a 1976 Chevy Malibu with huge dents in the sides...he gave way eventually, but as we were jammed up tight on the highway he decided to try and take it one step further. He got out of his car and headed for me...I waved him to come on. Just before he reached me there was a break in traffic. Everyone in the vicinity leaned on their horns hard! I've never seen a guy in a suit move so fast, as he suddenly found himself in the middle of a highway on foot.

The sheer joy that memory brings me! Thanks Sikboy;)

The 'driveway/parkway' bit was from Gallagher in the 80's.

He also had some of my other favorites in the same show.

Why is there a 'permanent press' setting on an iron?

Why do you have a hot water heater? You don't need to heat hot water.

Why do women wear a pair of panties but only 1 bra?

heh, while the wife was bent over the other day, I happened to be looking down thru her blouse, I asked "Why do you bother wearing a bra?"

Her reply was "The same reason you wear briefs".

That ones easy. Metal can withstand high G crashes with no internal organ damage. People cannot.

On that note, why is it okay that ladies can (thru legal manipulation) join Men Only clubs, but when Men try to join a "Ladies Only" club, it gets tossed out of court?

Assuming that is true Rip, there is an actual legal term called "Normal Woman" or something like that, used in harrassment cases. The courts have actually recognized that a normal female will react differently than a male in certain circumstances (one of you lawyer types might want to clarify my meager memory). One can only assume that some womens only clubs are necessarily segregated for the same reason.

Just a guess, cause I don't think this actually happens.

Kinda odd, how can they use an argument like that to support legal action that is based on the premise that we are equal and therefore they should have equal access?
