    JM>   I've not been to the airport here in years, no need to.   
    JM>   When last there around '03, I guess, there were several car rental   
    JM> places that had no in/near town offices.   
      
     Years ago, my mother-in-law had to get rescanned at the TSA checkpoint   
   at Orlando International Airport, and get patted down as well. She was   
   making all these orgiastic noises during it. She told me, then I told my   
   wife, who let out a scream, and put her hand over her mouth. The next    
   day, she said to her Mom "I hear you've been getting kinky with security!!".    
   Her Mom asked "Who told you?? Daryl??"...and she said "Who else??!!".   
      
     I was over in the corner laughing (she was on speaker phone), and my   
   wife looked at me, and gave me the same reaction when I forgot to put   
   the toilet seat back down...she spit at me like a mad cat.    
      
    JM>   The last time I brought wipers they were like $5.  Of course that was   
    JM> over 30 years ago.   
      
     Everything was cheaper back then. The cheapest I remember seeing gasoline   
   was in south Florida in the late 1960's...at 24.9 cents a gallon.   
      
    JM>   You have some big car, like a Hummer, with dinky little wipers on it.   
    JM> But little death trap has huge industrial strength wipers.   
      
     The worst part is when you run into a swarm of insects, and it smears up   
   the windshield when you try to clean them off.   
      
    JM>    One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over   
    JM> hoping for a different result.   
      
     History teaches us that man learns nothing from history.   
      
    > It makes as much sense as tits on a boar hog   
      
    JM>   How boar phobic!  Or something like that.  :)   
      
     Those boar hogs can be pretty mean. The hog mascot for the Arkansas    
   Razorbacks, named "Tusk" has one heck of a temper.   
      
    JM>   Everyone who went before the five person panel before me was found   
    JM> guilty.  If you got a citation it was because you were guilty in first   
    JM> place.   
      
     Sounds like the episode in "I Dream Of Jeannie", where Tony Nelson only   
   SLIGHTLY bumped a car, and the folks in it made it like he had plowed into   
   them. Well, toward the end, Jeannie blinked and the "injured guy in the   
   wheelchair" rolled ahead, and when he stood up, all the bandages fell off.   
   His lawyers said to the judge "Your Honor, I swear I had no idea on this!!",   
   and the judge said "Aw, shucks, Henry...we can't win 'em all".    
      
    JM>    Ah, small town politics, ya gotta love it.   
      
     Remind me never to visit those areas. :P
