I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And when you do something wrong, he comes riding, riding, riding after you.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I do try to think, "Maybe it's really an emergency" when I see people doing otherwise assholish things on the road. Okay, I know most of the time it isn't, but I'm trying to improve my karma, so I think to myself, "Hey, maybe he has to get to the hospital in 5 minutes or his leukemia-ridden pregnant wife will blow up a schoolbus full of kids." Or something.

Because, you know, of course it probably isn't, but what if it's that ONE TIME and I'm the person who cut him off?

When I was driving in Virginia, they had lanes that closed during certain hours of the day - big red X over them. WTF.... I was in one for a mile or two before I figured out that I shouldn't be. I'm sure I pissed off a few folks who thought I was trying to just be zippy. Nope. Clueless.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I can usually tell clueless or lost drivers from assholes.

Assholes drive like toddlers on monkey crack. Clueless or lost drivers drive like drunk toddlers.

At least that's how it works out in my head.

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

NZ women most promiscuous: survey

New Zealand women have the most sexual partners in the world, according to a global sex survey reported on Saturday.

They have an average of 20.4 sexual partners, according to a survey by condom-maker Durex - well above the global average of 7.3.

The Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global survey, which questioned 26,000 people in 26 countries, found that Austrians topped the male list with 29.3 sexual partners, more than twice the global average of 13.2.

New Zealand was the only country where women were more promiscuous than their men, who averaged 16.8 sexual partners, The Press newspaper said, reporting the survey.

The survey showed that Austrians were the youngest to lose their virginity at an average of 17.3 years, followed by Brazilians (17.4), Germans (17.6) and New Zealanders (17.8).

I've heard that people tend to under-report the number of their sexual partners when asked for surveys....

OK, I'm researching how one goes about emigrating to New Zealand.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

And when you do something wrong, he comes riding, riding, riding after you.

So totally what I was thinking.

Because, you know, of course it probably isn't, but what if it's that ONE TIME and I'm the person who cut him off?

That happened to my sister once. She was driving to work down a 25 mph road and this guy came zooming up and tailgating her so she id what most of my family does in this situation and slowed down even more. So they crept along. And the guy turned off into a hospital parking lot.

I try to remember that when other drivers are pissing me off too much.
