... keep him and his wife Yolanda in your thoughts and prayers. I don't think they got a direct hit, but it's ugly all the same.

QUOTE However, I would need to dispute your "don't know how to drive" claim. Frankly, our problem is that most of you Americans respect the speed limit and we're simply trying to pass you! laugh.gif Reminds me of the 80-year old snowbird living in Miami: To celebrate his 80th birthday, he bought a Corvette. Once out on the highway, he put the "pedal to the metal" and soon had it up to 120 mph. Looking in the mirror, he spotted the flashing blues of the Florida Highway Patrol. After briefly entertaining thoughts of out-running the cop, he thought better of it and pulled over. The trooper, after asking for his licence, insurance, etc. said "Sir, it's Friday afternoon and I don't really want to go through the cr*p of writing a citation. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I haven't heard before, you're on your way." The old guy thought for a second and said, "Years ago, my wife ran away with a member of the FHP. I was afraid you were bringing her back." "Have a nice day" said the trooper. This post has been edited by jkp: Oct 1 2006, 05:12 PM -------------------- John

FHP = Florida Highway Patrol Now I get the joke! ![]() -------------------- We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star, but we can understand the Universe.
