What about the people in stop and go traffic while driving over the overpass on the freeway? 

Do they have homes?

I thought I'd start this thread for those pesky odd questions that everyone must have and that maybe someone else in here might know the answer to but that you can't really find answers to online.

Here's one.
Why is it that it seems that really old, old people drive Buicks?
Everytime I get stuck behind someone in traffic it's invariably some q-tip in a Buick doing 20 mph under the limit.
I think there must be an age limit to buy a Buick, maybe 80 years old minimum.
Anyone else notice this?


(I actually may agree with you on this...and they should be shot).

When a car drives over me, is it driving over the overpass or driving on the overpass?
When I walk under the overpass, am I walking in the underpass?

Inquiring minds want to know.

My hubby and I moved  from the UK to Toronto 19 years ago with our eldest um and one in the oven. We miss so many different things....marmite, salad cream, branston pickle, clotted cream, real cornish pasties, schwepps bitter lemon,  walkers cheese and onion crisps,.....sweets/candys include, minstrels, galaxy choccy(better than cadbury in my opinion) milky bar(white chocolate), refreshers, sherbert dib dabs, cadburys buttons, caramac, toffo, curly whurlys and mostly Trebor Extra Strong Mints, (they make altoids look like beginners). I  went to england back in march for the first time in ten years and came back with a full case of goodies for us all.  we have just run out so I will be doing some online shopping, gotta love the interweb
I found this shop too

Status: offline 		Okay, with all this talk about candy from the U.K., why hasn't anyone mentioned TOFFEE CRISPS? OMG! 
My cousin is very fond of Malteasers, but to me they're not all that different than regular malted milk balls, just more expensive.
i did love the whimsical names... Munchies, Crunchies, and Crispies; The Big Green Triangle, the Big Toffee Finger, and The Big Purple One... i thought "Turkish Delight" sounded like something you'd get at a massage parlor, tho...

Oh, and my question: Where the hell do our salesmen keep digging up accounts that literally can't keep $2.00 in their business checking account? Sonovabitch!

No problem, hijack away! That's the only thing that would keep this thread going.
I just finished a Nestle's Crunch bar.

Get a bunch of them worked up and pack them in a cigar tube and you have a cheap homemade vibrator.

Oh, and another odd question, what the hell is it about women's clothing sizes?
One woman can be 5'2" and a "size 6" and another woman can be 5'10" and a "size 6"!
Us guys just can't figure it out.


lol, honestly, as a woman, i can't figure it out either *smile*...although i do know that the length of a bottom (skirt/trousers/shorts) do not have any effect on the size chart per se....

They come in sporty colors, two doors, sometimes a wing on the truck lid.......oh wait that's the Grand Am. The only people I see driving Gran Marquis are old people & cops and I don't see a badge. So which one are you? Lay off the Buick people.

Sounds like an "acquired taste" you need to get used to while growing up.
Either that or it goes well with hard alcohol in which case all previous expectations cease to matter.
 
Bottoms up!

PeterJay, I wasn't making a judgement, merely an observation.
And of course a Mercury Grand Marquis isn't a sportscar, it's a luxury car with that "fat" ride.
And no, you don't see a lot of young people driving that model of mercury either.
And like I said in a previous post Buick makes a very nice car!
It's just that they seem to be favored by the geriatric set for whatever reason.
