  3. The Farmer Goes To Town A farmer stopped by the local mechanic's shop to have his truck fixed... they couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would just walk home. On the way home he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket and a gallon of paint. He then stopped by the feed store and picked up a couple of chickens and a goose. However, struggling outside the store he now had a problem..how to carry his entire purchases home. While he was scratching his head he was approached by a little old lady who told him she was lost. She asked, "Can you tell me how to get to 1603 Mockingbird Lane?” The farmer said, "Well, as a matter of fact, my farm is very close to that house. I would walk you there but I can't carry this lot." The old lady suggested, 'Why don't you put the can of paint in the bucket. Carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?' 'Why thank you very much,' he said and proceeded to walk the old girl home. On the way he says 'Let's take my short cut and go down this alley. We'll be there in no time.' The little old lady looked him over cautiously then said, 'I am a lonely widow without a husband to defend me. How do I know that when we get in the alley you won't hold me up against the wall, pull up my skirt, and have your way with me?' The farmer said, 'Holy smokes lady! I'm carrying a bucket, a gallon of paint, two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the wall and do that?' The old lady replied, ' Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the paint on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens.'

  5. Linda Mccartney must have been a humungous lass, if still making sausages from her.
  6. I quoted what was stated before. It implied something different than reality. Not saying it did not happen, but it needed more than gps to enable an agent to respond to a cars inverted position.
  7. Afraid that is not quite true. GPS is a one way system. You do not transmit your location data to the USAAF owned satellites. However, maybe combined with GPRS then who knows what your car is telling the manufacturer/dealer/whoever ?

  11. Surely, you don't think that any gov. will let you have something for nothing? (or maybe just to tempt you into the trap). It will be quite a balancing act, but now we will be having the tech. to get payments however we want - 5G, smart meters, gps, etc. But bumping up road tax is pretty simple. In the uk, fuel tax is is 57.95 per litre. Assume you get 10 miles/per litre, and 10000miles per year, that'll be £579.50 equivalent road tax, to recover the fuel duty. We can't afford to lose 29billion gbp per year in road fuel duty. It will be quite feasible to tax based on roads driven, time of day, size of car, number in the vehicle, etc. All automatic, money taken before the journey is completed. And someone has to pay for the electricity supply reinforcement, additional generators, and so on.

  13. Husband: “I changed a light bulb today. ” Wife: “ That's it? I did the laundry, vacuumed the house, washed windows, cooked three meals, and the list goes on and on ... And you changed a single light bulb? Husband: “Yep, that’s what I did today. Watch this; I filmed me doing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1BgzIZRfT8
