    Yesterday I'm going to the grocery store. The road is under construction, and is 35 mph.

     

    Two cars behind me is either a black or an extremely dark blue SUV with a white roof. Looked like a cop car to me. And I made real certain that I was doing 35.

     

    Then we get to the end of the construction and the one lane of traffic becomes three lanes and the speed limit goes up to 45. And the guy behind me passes me like I'm standing still and then here comes that SUV. Also passes me like I'm standing still and waves the Hawaiian peace sign at me.

     

    And I'm sitting there thinking, "Friend, if you wish to drive in excess of the posted speed limit, I suggest that next time you buy a new car do not get one that is painted like a cop car. If you look like a black and white, people in front of you are not going to speed".

    Several years ago, I had the "pleasure" of being pulled over for a Commercial Vehicle Roadside Check by an Arizona DOT Officer in a pickup truck. A plain white pickup truck. With a plain white shell on the bed. AND A LADDER RACK ON TOP!! 

    After that I was always able to spot him, but I'd never seen anything like that before.

    I had something like this one in my Jeep YJ back in the '80s. I managed to separate the top from the base, and inserted a green LED into it, spliced into the instrument gauge light wiring. It was liquid filled, so when lighted, the whole thing glowed green.

    So does that mean it’s stupid or really stupid :) 

    It's not stupid because it's computer controlled. The computer might be stupid, but that's a whole different story. 

    And if you keep driving with a flashing light, YOU'RE the stupid one. Like I said, Really Bad.

    The dummy lites in a car just stay on , no flashing, so is the dummy lite stupid 

    The old style Dummy lights in a car would just stay on. The newer light will come on if it's something Bad, but if they're flashing it means something Really Bad.

    If your Stupid Light is on that means that your Stupid is activated and running.

    It could mean your Stupid is not working properly, like the dummy lights in a car, so that may be an advantage 

    Stupid Light On means you Stupid is activated and running.  Your Stupid Light will be flashing if your Stupid is not working properly.

    So does that mean my friend has 20 households?

    Just asking...

    More likely it means that there are another 19 households that have wimps living in them hoping that "SOMEONE" will come to save them if the wolf comes to their door.

    Few people are aware that hundreds of Haggis were used to film the Star Trek episode, "The Trouble with Tribbles."  Gene Roddenberry traveled to Scotland years prior to creating Star Trek, but later remembered seeing the wee beasties during his Scotland holiday and wanted to incorporate them, somehow, into one of the episodes he was writing, which eventually became, "The Hassle with Haggis."  Lawsuits were filed over the use of the name 'Haggis', so Roddenberry, succumbing to pressure from studio execs, changed the name to 'Tribbles', and then the title of the episode as well.  The professional animal handlers for the series were ill prepared for the behavior and habits of Haggis, especially the flouncing. Filming of the episode took longer than expected, and several members of the cast and crew were injured due to mishandling of the Haggis.  When filming was complete, the Haggis were flown back to Scotland to resume their life in the Highlands.  No Haggis were harmed during the filming of this episode. 
    Fun Fact:  The original script never stated that 'Tribbles hated Klingons and that they would emit a piercing shriek and shiver with rage'.  The Haggis themselves behaved this way towards the actors who were dressed as Klingons as the Haggis had an aversion to the makeup the actors wore.  Roddenberry chose to amend his script to allow for this behavior, rather than change the actors' makeup.

    Fun story, but it's about the biggest load of Hooey I've heard in a while.
