There Are Number 1s Right In Your Phone Number. I Thought You Could Help
Today’s…uh…piss poor reason for calling 911. I’m caught in slow moving traffic and I really need to take a wiz. Please send the police. Calling 9-1-1 because you need to use the bathroom and the car ahead isn't moving fast enough, is definitely #NotFor911. 9-1-1 misuse can potentially prevent someone with a life-threatening emergency from …

Give Me Those Keys
Some days it really irritates me that guys like this get to drive and I don’t. Really, how much more dangerous could I possibly be? I’d even stick my cane out the window so I could sweep for obstacles if it would make people feel better. Halton police has charged a Waterdown man for playing …
Let Me Warm That UP For You
If nobody has, somebody needs to come up with a microwave for the car. I feel like it would save a lot of people, such as poor Zayveon Johnson here, a whole lot of trouble. It might give us one less gimmick to run the site on, but holy crap I think I’m fine with …

Of Course They’ll Give Me The Money. They Know Me Here
I don’t know much about Fountain Valley, California. I don’t even think I had heard of it until just now. But if there’s one thing I do know about it, that thing is that it is the home of more than one bank. In fact, typing the words “Fountain Valley California bank” into Google like …

This Is Good Wine…For Me To Poupon
Grey Poupon wine now exists Pretty sure I’m more ok with this development than I am with that Frosty cereal, honestly. No way in hell I’m plunking down the $30 it would take to buy a full bottle of the stuff, but if someone were to come up to me and say “sir, try a …
Home Is Where The Job Isn’t
