    I was thinking wouldn't it be great if there was a way to shoot the vehicle that does this with some specific color of paint balls so when anyone sees it covered in that color they'd know a dummy was driving. Have a HUD controlled rapid fire cannon shooting the paint balls, driver could just look at said vehicle and push a button to paint it . I say we use that glow in the dark lot lizard lime green that some people think makes their truck frames look cool for the color of dummies.
    Yes I've probably spent too much time thinking about this.

    I don't have any ridiculous advice, but I do have one ridiculous c0cktail recipe. This is for a c0cktail called the "Born to Run":

    1 shot gin or vodka
    1/2 shot Campari
    6 oz. magnesium citrate
    add ice, garnish with orange slice, and don't leave the house for at least 6 hours.

    (warning: do NOT try this recipe! Magnesium citrate is also called "colon bow" for a reason....)

    If you run any type of open top dump trailer, hauling things like rock, gravel, sand or other similar materials. You don’t need to put your tarp over it if you are going less than 30 miles to delivery.

    When you’re on the highway, and you see the sign for an upcoming scale, you are required to slow down to 20 MPH below the posted speed limit at the sign.
