I've never fully understood this one, I detest the people who flout the law and park in inconsiderate places more than those who try to police it.Originally posted by Jog On View PostTraffic wardens
I'm 37 and I've never had a ticket in my life, it’s not that hard to park responsibly.
It's not there but 'pushy sales people' should be.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
