This cut-n-paste is too short.

Thanks....

I have no problem with cut-n-paste posts. Especially if they have some value. Be it entertainment, educational or just a nifty thing to pass on.
I’ve cut-n-pasted all of these (and G-Benz’s) to a saved file for later giggles. I like’em. Thanks guys.

Where you are is where you're at.

Law of Location: No matter where you go, there you are.

Reminds me of an S&R flight we made a few years back.
A guy crash landed his Cessna 172 into a semi-wooded area not to far from us. Some minor injuries onboard. He was bouncing a distress call around numerous frequencies not knowing if his radio(s) still worked or not. When we pick up on one of his calls we asked him where he was located. His reply was: “At the crash site.”

Yep. Figured that. - Here’s your sign.

Don't forget that Mr. Murphy was an abject optimist. Reality is far worse than his Law pretends.

No. Too long. I mean really, the 'Theatre Rule'. That one seriously wasted my time. Next time try leaving the 'Theatre Rule', and all the other ones like it, out.
Thanks.

Not to mention, "Law of Dirty Rugs/Carpets:." I mean gee whiz, it went to two lines, what's up with that.

We need to ban the barstool who would do that.

Law of the parking lots:

No matter how far you park from the nearest vehicle, a $hitbox will pull in right next to you, within 18" of your door.


Law of travelling:

When travelling with women, a rest stop will be required precisely 30 minutes after the previous stop for fuel.

Second law of travelling:

Any ingestion of coffee at a rest stop will result in the need to purge said coffee when the vehicle has just passed an exit on a limited access highway..........and the next exit is 15 miles away.

Now that you mention it, I see what you mean. Not only is that one long it's patently untrue.

As to banning... I Think there's an automatic ban at 11,001 posts so that issue will resolve itself.

I think that's a good idea. I might try self immolation like Bard ii, Spock and Spock ii, KV (and subsequent echoes), and Narwhal.

It's better to burn-out than fade away!

I've been thinking, that if I ever got rid of my current 300E WDBEA3OD6GA264172 I would have a real identity crisis on my hands. So for now I'll just keep her up and running to the best of my skills and resources.

That cut-n-paste is too long, and not very interesting.

Hehe!! I go to the Dollar Store cause it ain't as crowded as Wal-Mart. I get in the checkout that only has three people in front of me while the other has six. We're moving right along ....... until the woman in front of me pulls out 33 coupons, a debit card that the scanner will not read and 12 items that need a 'price check'!!!
