There is always a bike lane, even if it's not painted. It's a bubble around the bikers 3' past the handlebars. That is the room cars are legally required to give a biker on the road (at least according to MN rules). This just helps the car visualize where they are legally REQUIRED to avoid. Bikers are allowed on the roads. They have just as much right to using a lane as a car, no matter how much it bugs you or you think it's wrong. I know cars hate following the rules of the road (speeding all the time, rolling through stop signs), but at least you can try to respect the ones that allow bikers their 3' bubble. Is that too much to ask?

He should have asked the thief's address and promised to send him the reward money of $500 to it as soon as he can get to an ATM machine. Then when he had the address in hand, he should have left with the joke: "How do you keep an asshole in suspense?" ... Problem is, I never think of good lines like that during the moment. It's always "I shoulda done that..."

I agree. Except when your plane gets hijacked. Then the safest thing to do for yourself and everyone else is to sit quietly in the back of the plane and wait for the situation to get resolved peacefully by the proper authorities.

My wife and I went to the store to buy her a new cell phone. The salecritter started to ask her what she wanted for features: bluetooth, camera, text, smartphone, and so forth. She looked sheepish for a sec and said "What do you have in purple?"
