But what annoys me more than the crowns is the yellow "Baby on Board" signs that the Yuppies put on the rear windows of their Volvos and Lexus's. As if one would be more inclined to smash their cars into the back of them otherwise.

Anyway, why is it that TV weathermen feel they have to be "buddy-buddy" with the news readers on the set. Why the scripted banter back and forth? It's lame and it should be stopped immediately.

Why is it spelled "Beyoncé", but pronounced "Beyónce"?

Even more odd: People who drive and lean their necks way over to the right so their heads are in front of the rear-view mirrors in the middle of the car all the time. It looks like an act of vanity, but perhaps there's more to it than that.

This is a sure sign of either inner-ear infection and the patient feels off balance and/or the driver is afraid of being hit by all the vehicles on the left. 'could be they're drowsing off, too...then again many are probably only driving with their right hand at four o'clock and their left picking their nose...then again...

Maybe they couldn't afford a REAL Crown Victoria, and this is a close as it gets.

Do you mean to tell me the soaps I've been
 using all these years are not antibacterial?


Never use antibacterial soap, especially under your arms.
It will kill off the bacteria that live there, vacating the niche.
The niche will then be filled by the bacteria inhabiting the
anal area.  This can lead to yeast infections under your
arms, also known as 'pit bread.'

"Organic" is French for "with bugs"

You see the head way over to the left or right in about equal number. Originally a way for Gangsta thugz to present a smaller target driving through the bad streets (having a small, pointy head is another adaptation). Now adopted by spotty suburban grocery baggers to convince other drivers they are actually gang members.

The crown isn't the thing. It's the crystals in the crown and their orientation to celestial stuff. It's always changing and requires complex on-the-fly calculations, which is why you often see these cars weaving.

The kleenex box with the gold trim means something too -- I think it means you're a diplomat's driver or something.

>>Because a big crown would obstruct their vision too much.<<

There are specialty shops that will affix a huge gold-tone crown to your Monte Carlo. They'll throw in leopard-print upholstery if you like.
