QUOTES OF THE DAY

“Of course, in Los Angeles, everything is based on driving, even the killings. In New York, most people don’t have cars, so if you want to kill a person, you have to take the subway to their house. And sometimes on the way, the train is delayed and you get impatient, so you have to kill someone on the subway. That’s why there are so many subway murders; no one has a car.”

George Carlin

“Why would you turn right on a red light when we can all just sit here behind you waiting to die… #AHOLE”

A.O. Storm, An A-Hole Goes To Work

“Driving a car provides a person with a rush of dopamine in the brain, which hormonal induced salience spurs modalities of creative and critical thinking regarding philosophical concepts such as truth, logical necessity, possibility, impossibility, chance, and contingency.”

Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“People are like, ‘Oh, you can’t take humans out of the loop, I’m a human and I’m an awesome driver.’ And I’m like, no, man, you’re not an awesome driver. You’re a monkey, and monkeys suck at making decisions.”

Tim Cannon


WATCH OUT FOR THAT ……

WTF? The dumbass survived with minor injuries????

A hand tractor was hit and smashed to pieces by a truck as it was making a left turn at a crossing in Tianchang City, China.
The tractor was seriously deformed and pieces of it were seen scattered on the road. The tractor driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries except for hand fractures and soft tissue injuries

A mother who was impaled by a pole during a car crash has admitted that she is lucky to be alive after she veered off the road while sending a text message.

Christina Jahnz had a pole go through her thighs and buttocks when she hit a guardrail last Wednesday while sending a text at the wheel in Elizabeth, Colorado. 

Firefighters were forced to saw the front and back off the pole off to get the woman out of the wreckage before transporting her to Parker Adventist Hospital where she underwent surgery.

 

Christina Jahnz has allowed the Colorado hospital to release this picture of the pole impaling her thighs and buttocks after she was injured when her car hit a rail while she was texting and driving. She released the photos of her horrific injuries so that others would be aware of the dangers of texting at the wheel

She told 9 News that she had just dropped her daughter at school when she realized the girl had forgotten her saxophone.

She was on her way home to collect the instrument when she began sending a voice text to tell her friend she would be late for a work meeting.

Mrs Jahnz told 9 News: ‘I looked down to make sure it [the text] was all right. The next thing I knew, I was looking up, there was white powder from the air bags deployed.’

The mother said she had at least 40 stitches before she stopped counting and added that she also had to be sewn up on the inside. 

She said that medics told her if the pole had come through the front of her car at just a slightly different angle, she would have bled to death.

She was released from hospital on Sunday and is expected to recover fully from her injuries.

ANOTHER REASON TO HATE COPS

Another heart warming story about our 2nd responders. I had a doctor’s appointment yesterday morning (the dreaded pre-colonoscopy appt because I turned 50). The doctor’s office is at the corner of Germantown Pike and Whitehall Road in West Norriton. It is a very busy intersection during morning rush hour. It has left turning signals and if there would be a problem with the lights would cause major gridlock for people trying to get to work.

As I’m waiting three or four cars back from the light, it is about to turn green for us. What happens? A caravan of eight police SUVs from multiple townships with lights flashing,  but sirens off, uses their handy dandy gizmos to keep the light green in their direction. They clearly were not rushing to the scene of a crime. They were going normal speed. My guess is they were accompanying some government drone politician to some re-election fund raising breakfast with some special interest group.

By creating a double green light for their direction, they caused a traffic jam in my direction. No biggie. I made it to my appointment on time. Of course, the drone at the front desk informed me that my referral had run out and I needed a new one. You would think they would have known that fact before I arrived and informed me, so I could get a renewed referral. Nope. I had to reschedule. So now I’m a little irritated, as I’ve wasted 90 minutes of my day.

I pull out of the lot and I’m the first car at the light to cross Germantown Pike. The light is about to turn green and guess what happens? The caravan of 2nd responders is returning from their drone mission and does the same exact thing. They use their gizmo and keep the light green in their direction once more. I may have muttered a few choice words under my breath, as these union government drones act like pricks and prima donnas by showing other drivers they can do anything they want, flaunting the very driving laws they enforce on the average person.

Now it gets really good. Evidently their electronic gizmo fucked up the light. It stopped turning green in the direction I was going. Even when it was red on the Germantown Pike side, it remained red on my side. The traffic behind me was extending for a quarter mile as we all waited for the light to turn green. I was cursing like a sailor now. No one else was making a move, so I just floored it through the red light and the obedient lemmings began to follow.

Those fucking prick cops, who are only supposed to use those gizmos in an emergency, fucked up traffic at a major intersection during rush hour because they don’t give a fuck about laws, regulations or the public. They are privileged thugs who think they can do anything they choose to do. Know your enemy.
