Subj : Daryl update To : JOE MACKEY From : Daryl Stout Date : Tue Aug 20 2019 02:02:00 Joe, JM> The cab company here filed suit against LYFT and UBER and lost. There was a lawsuit filed in the local court between a new cab company and a long time one. Yet, I supported the new cab company, because of the attitude, etc. of the long time cab companies (i.e. unsafe driving, speeding, taking the longest way around, etc.). JM> Of course more people have cars now, the pop. has declined a lot, etc. If you combine Little Rock and North Little Rock (the Arkansas River divides the two cities), you have well over 200,000...otherwise you don't. JM> Like the old joke: Don't drink and drive. You might hit a bump and spill JM>your drink. :) I don't drink and drive, but I swig at stoplights. JM> I was going to visit an FOAF and slipping a cup of coffee when the lid JM>came loose spilling coffee all over the front of my tee-shirt. :) JM> (And it was too late to change it). Never mind the lawsuit of the women who spilled hot coffee from McDonald's into her groin. She sued in court, and won. I could care less about coffee myself, but I know well enough that in most cases, it's hot. JM> It's supposed to but who knows what the evil geniuses in WA state are up JM>to? :) That sounds like an oxymoron. :P JM> It was funny when I was telling about my (then) upcoming trip and meeting JM>people I only know online. They were aghast I would meet strangers, like JM>you guys are axe murderers or something. (Other than some deranged person, JM>why would anyone want to murder a Sort of like the deal with the guy picked up a hitchhiker. After awhile, the rider asked the driver if he was worried that he might have picked up a serial killer. He was told "what are the odds that the one who picked you up is also a serial killer??" . It's like the scene from "Silver Streak", where Richard Pryor asked Gene Wilder what the cops wanted him for. When Wilder said "Murder", Pryor said "Drop me off anywhere along here". JM> I drove up in the cart and said "Hello little girl, would you like a JM>ride? I have candy?" She quickly replied, "Show me the candy first". I JM>nearly fell out of the cart laughing. LOL. JM> And he had a somewhat thick French accent. Interesting. JM> He died several years ago. There'll never be another one like him. JM>> I know Borge and Liberace are dead now...and I think both Rowan and JM>> Martin are gone as well. JM> Yep. Rowan And Martin's Laugh-In launched the careers of so many folks. You bet your sweet bippy. Daryl === þ OLX 1.53 þ "Daddy, what does 'FORMATTING DRIVE C' mean??" --- SBBSecho 3.08-Win32 * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS - tbolt.synchro.net (1:19/33) .
