    I used to be fluent in Jive. But each generation changes it.
    Barbara Billingsly ( i think her name was) in Airplane.She did a OK job .
    And I can't help it , I still laugh at the captain showing little Billy around plane and he asks, "Have you ever seen a grown man naked Billy?" It isn't so funny in writing ...I see....Talk about not being apropos, That movie was one but it was hilarious. Peter Graves ...that was the captains name.

    I don't know if Jerry Lee Lewis could read music but Elvis, couldn't , or didn't, anyway.
    Many people play that can't/don't read.

    So another with questionable immigration and training status wantonly killing motorists and then the professional, well trained drivers wonder why the motoring public at large hates them. It's truly mind boggling...good thing these aren't related.

    I believe I saw somewhere he received 110 years (not enough) and of course the boo-hoos and the "poor me" and the "its not fair" kicked in. Firing squad is faster, more efficient and less drama.

    Governor commuted the 110 year sentence to 10 years because Kim Kardashian tagged him on Instagram or twitter or something.

    Bloody Hell, I thought @Bud A. was joking, until I read that.
    I know that 110 years equates to 'natural life without the possibility of parole' in a UK court, sometimes later reduced, but in this case a minimum of 7 years is well out of order considering the choices he made not to take the emergency lane.

    Who can blame the families and their lawyers going for "nuclear" verdicts? In the Colorado case the company had sad CSA records and a couple of instances of drivers getting pinched for not speaking English. Suing them into bankruptcy is not enough.

    I was at a Walmart DC not too long ago and this hammer and sickle russkie commie #### was checking in and the lady asked him what company he drove for. He pulled the I don't speak English commie genocide crap on her and she got really pissed. She knew, and the Stalin loving crap stick knew as well he was ####ing with her. Maybe you don't speak the language in the country you are working it well, but it would take all of 10 seconds to understand what the word "company" met. She told him to go away and call dispatch and he all of a sudden knew some English. She told him to go pound sand. It was awesome. I hope the KGB doesn't come after her.

    O was at the Washington port of entry and got pulled in. When I went inside dot just looked at me and "I don't have tome to deal with you just fix the placard on the back door" the other driver kept trying to hand his phone to him so his dispatcher could translate for him... dot was having none of it... as I walked out I told dot have a nice day... his response was i will BUT he's not...!
