Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey, dead puppies aren't much fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And ... another question on the traffic school test had an answer different from the DVD. I called in this time. The guy pointed out that I got it right. Not the point. The rightRIGHT answer wasn't an option. So I picked the nearest one.

They're making a note,

I'm not supposed to be this person.

Cracking up over both watch-n-post puppie bowl and ita getting indignant over traffic school. (I had the same issues with my driving test. I got a 90%. I'm STILL sure my answer on those 2 questions was right. Of course, I don't recall the questions now.)

Also, ROBIN! Puppy! Awww. You'll do fine. From what I've heard, obediance school, firm limits, and lotsa love. You'll be fine.

The Puppy Bowl is very soothing. There should be a puppy channel and a kitten channel.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I kept dozing off. How did Paul's piano get on stage?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

How, then can the answer to "Identify a leading cause of traffic collisions" of "speeding" be incorrect?

I'd guess they are defining "speeding" as "exceeding the posted speed limit" and defining "unsafe speed" as "too fast for conditions," which can happen even when you aren't "speeding."

There is an element of post hoc ergo propter hoc there: "You had a crash, therefore you must have been travelling at an unsafe speed. If you had been going slower, you wouldn't have crashed. How much slower? Slow enough to not crash."

Cool! I can't believe I slept thru that.
