RIDICULOUS

No ... Not "ridiculous" like the fiasco over Titles (see below), but just simply some ridiculously funny things heard and seen on the way from Chicago-land to Mitchell, SD.

On the radio: A news report about a guy who said, "If there is a God, he will protect me," and then crawled into the lion's den at the zoo and was promptly mauled to death. The dj said, "What he didn't know was that the lion had just prayed for lunch."

On the radio: A McDonald's commercial with a guy who gets fired, loses his wife and gets a ticket, but then gets them all taken care of by offering a McDonald's breakfast. The best part is the cop: "Sir, you were driving backwards the wrong way down a one-way street with expired tags and no plates." Um . . . if he didn't have any plates, how would the cop know that the tags were expired? Who writes these things???

On the road: A billboard advertising a good place to go if you need repairs on your car (I am not making this up) -- DICK'S TOE SERVICE. I'm wondering if Dick takes care of broken toes caused by people kicking their flat tires.

It's been a good trip. We're almost halfway home. Yay.

That last one sounds like the lovely woman who told me in an email that she "was looking forward to melting me and my husband."

Hey-- I wonder if Dick grew up in Montana...

I am sure that Dick did not grow up in Montana.

:P
