    Shouldn't that be #myshirtto ala the #meto...

    In tights! Tight tights! We're men! MEN IN TIGHTS!
    Ya'll can decide who is who in the dance troupe



    If I was anymore humble, I'd be perfect. That last part reminded of that.

    Good way to end up on a sex offenders list!

    I reckon it's a good thing you don't ask to inspect to make sure everything was tied, an strapped down properly.

    I kid I kid.

    Laugh, it won't kill you. An if it does, you should've lived a healthier lifestyle. :)

    If the OP has an issue with this parking job then when I park his f n head will explode! I believe I can park in just 4 spots - assuming they are pull through spots ....

    No, I park straight, and pull into a spot on the first try.

    Much unlike the vast majority of door-swingers I see out there in truck stops, who's job it is to hit a spot between two other trucks.

    Good lord the chaos that will happen when you see people parking at the pump so they can paint their parking space...

    I expect several dozen heads would explode.

    Could just do like the British. No parking? Simple, Summon Voltron.

    Clearly the British emergency folks don't have enough to do..

    Feel free to print this one out, an give to folks who need it...
