Could be he tried, and failed. Thus the slap.

But that's just speculation. We can both speculate anything we want in order to fit our viewpoint. We should deal with what's known.

it is mindboggling the number of screwball threads posted that take place in Montana....must be sumptin' in the water up there....

Ever since Ted and Jane bought the ranch and all those Californians moved in out in the western part things have been getting pretty strange over there.

Not long ago the parents would have praised the bus driver (after they straightened their kid out) for keeping order on the vehicle hauling their kids around. Now the kids can act as they please and if the bus driver has an accident amidst the mayhem they reach for the phone to call the lawyer before calling the hospital..

When someone behaves like an idiot towards me I do the same to them.

Well, at least we can still drive in Montana with an open can of beer in our hands legally, as long as our blood alcohol is below .10%!!! (At least in the rural areas, some cities may have passed open container laws.)

Yes he does.

[Taxman]

Yup. No question there is more to come.
