OT: A Funny thing happened on the way home today

[Atrocities]

In a day and age where the Boy Scouts are viewed as evil, your children are not safe to walk or play out side without supervision, and your faith is tested each and everyday, I fear that I would have probably declined her request because I have become a weakened paranoid SOB who has been drum beaten by the daily onslaught of negative news into the mind set that I need to fear everything, including, regrettably, even harmless insightful little old ladies.

And as to the southern cali drivers, PLEASE KEEP THEM IN YOUR STATE! We don't need or want them moving up north to Oregon or Washington. They are so rude and us country bumpkins don't like to flipped off by the well dressed yahoo with the cell phone in one ear, blackberry in one hand, passing us in his shiny BMW at 70 mph as we drive our John Deer down the two lane road marked 35 MPH.

Best bumper sticker I saw was in LA a few years ago on a business trip- " Now that you've seen California, GO HOME!"

Only similar thing I can think of was 5 months ago. I was going to a bookshop/games/comic shop in town and as usual I went to park at the Car Park. So I'm driving along slowly looking for a spot, it's one where there's only one road so you look from side to side as you go from level to level. I saw what looked like rubbish, bits of paper lying on the ground (in retrospect, technically they are plastic). As I drove past I peered at the pile and thought "That rubbish looks sort of familiar....Hang on, it isn't is it?"
So I stopped my car at the turn with cars behind me. I held up my hand and walked around the car to the pile. I bent down and picked it up and there was $240 just lying there . Since I am incapable of doing the wrong thing, Hey I'm Catholic, were incapable of making a decision without feeling guilty , I turned it into the Attendants. The next week they said no-one had claimed it and told me to give it to the police (that way I can claim it if noone gets it). So after a 3 month wait I went back and managed to pocket $240, without feeling any guilt, though it does make me wonder who loses that much money but does nothing about it?
