I should also point out that I'm not after the credit for "the truth", or
the original story or whatever. I just got tired of posting the
same corrections _every_ time this furfy appeared.



I understand completely. I too am tired of some of the urban legends that
just refuse to die after many years.

I find it very interesting that I chose to save the file with that file
name and that I found it again after these many years!

Thank you for your many interesting posts - keep up the awesome work!




Thanks - all the low fruit has already been picked, but I'll post what
interests me.

Don't Sweat the Small S*** !



I know its hard,
But,Lifes too short. theres no way you can change "the stupids" of the
world...





Thanks, that's really good advice that I'll do my best to employ.


After 5 years of bugger-all rain, we're finally getting some moisture down
here. It frustrates me to see stupid 17 yo kids (I was one 35 years
ago) driving fast cars in their first real wet conditions. I can't
work out who is stupider, the kids or their parents.

I've learned the hard way, just to back off and let them get past, some of
these guys have a 'stobie pole' with their name on it.


Since my thread compass has swung off track, this is a stobie pole.

They're VERY good at stopping errant cars that leave the roadway.
150km/hr to 0 in .1 of a metre.





Its on my old computer's HD even with Dave's name on it..
Got to respect the man,
Thanks Dave !




You're very welcome. Thanks.

" No, Officer , I didn.t leave the road, the light pole jumpped out in
front of me!"
