Rules for Driving in Chicago

The morning rush hour is from 5AM to noon. The evening rush hour is from 3PM to 10PM. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday morning.

If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear ended, cussed out and possibly shot.

When you are the first one on the starting line, count to five when the light turns green before going to avoid crashing with all the drivers running the red light in cross-traffic.

If someone actually has their turn signal on, it is probably a factory defect.

Car horns are actually "Road Rage" indicators.

All old ladies with blue hair in Mercedes have the right of way. Period.

A trip across town (east to west) will take a minimum of four hours, although many north/south expressways have unposted minimum speeds of 75.

Your keyboard is probably very relieved right about now. It needs the rest.

HOW TO CALL THE POLICE

George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and he said no. Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available. George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.

"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now cause I've just shot them all." Then he hung up.

Within five minutes three police car, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips residence. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"

'The Simpsons' to Show Live-Action Opening

NEW YORK - Ever wonder what Bart Simpson would look like in human form? The longrunning animated Fox series "The Simpsons" is about to show you. The series will unveil a live-action opening sequence Sunday, 8 p.m. EST, a Fox spokeswoman announced Thursday.

In it, the dysfunctional cartoon family — Bart, Homer, Marge, Lisa and Maggie — will be seen as they would appear in real life, played by lookalike actors.

"I'm just amazed there are people who want to be known for looking like the Simpsons," said Al Jean, the show's executive producer, in a statement.

A team from British network Sky One created and commissioned the live sequence, which apes the long-running series' memorable opening shots: Bart writing on the chalkboard, Homer pulling the nuclear rod out of his shirt and Maggie and Marge at the supermarket, a Fox spokeswoman said.

For various reasons, I am very aware of the air quality in Indiana, specifically up here in NWI.

Apparently, we have improved over time in some areas, but not all areas.

I have heard Lake Michigan is getting cleaner. Meaning, when I was a kid, I was playing in dirty water.

cuthbert1776

Yeah - but it was refreshing (cold lake water).

Apparently True

A group of dentists wanted to set themselves apart from their competitors in a new practice.

They decided to establish their practice on a boat docked on the river.

As a bonus, they made twice-daily trips across the river.

Going Home

Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly slipped & and fell into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.

Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out.

When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act, she immediately ordered Edna to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered Edna to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news, the Head Nurse Director said, Edna, have good news and bad news.

The good news is that you're being discharged. Since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of another patient, I have concluded that your act displays sound mindness.

The bad news is, Jim, the patient you saved, hanged himself with his bathrobe belt in the bathroom, right after you saved him. I am so sorry, Edna, but Jim is dead.

I AM NOT DEAD !!

This has been a CRAPPY week.

I had the stomach flu for 3 days.

I missed Joe's concert in Chicago (Wednesday night) - I gave my ticket away to a co-workers future father-in-law - so at least someone could enjoy the concert.

Our vehicle - which only has 30,000 miles on it - the battery shorted out (died) - resulting in tow, new battery and rental car.

The cat pooped on one of the beds - I was too out of it to open the door so that the cat could use his litter box.

Someone in the house broke a toe.

D'oh !!!!!

To those who went to the Chicago Wednesday show - was it any good?

I am really really behind - over 20 pages. It will take some time to catch up.

Stand back - I still may be contagious :(

Thanks - the mend is coming - not there yet - finally enough energy to move around today.
