The sensors on my car almost certainly saved me from a major accident a few weeks ago. Compared to wiping off the sensors occasionally, how much “more work” is a wheelchair or funeral arrangements?

That actually is unlawful, and if that turns out to be the case and there aren’t other circumstances that make the mistake reasonable to some degree, there will be legal consequences.

The NRA says nothing of the sort, and has a great many African-American members and representatives. Please don’t make bigoted accusations yourself.

“Texas’s economy is almost completely dependent on the United States government.” 

Dear California: Just shut up and go already.

She didn’t want food, she wanted a hand-warmer. She thought the bulb-warmed pretzel would be warm enough to do the job, but it wasn’t, yet blowing money on a second pretzel would take more of her money so she became resigned to her hands staying cold.

There’s a great satirical Youtube video about that kind of behavior, search for “How to Become Gluten Intolerant”.

Growing up in the Midwest, I didn’t realize that peanut-butter-and-Miracle-Whip sandwiches would gross out almost everyone else ho hadn’t had a steady diet of them as a kid. I haven’t had one in years, but I’d still prefer it to PB&J.

“I’ve heard horrible things said about [anything/everything] in many of the threads around the internet.”

No jury here in Texas would convict them. Apparently there’s an unwritten “he needed killin’” exception in the homicide laws.

I was going to say that the phrase you’re looking for is “mind boggling”, but upon reflection I think “mind bottling” is a better fit and I like it much better.

That happened to me too, except they didn’t put me on hold, they set the phone down and then forgot about it. As I drove to the restaurant I got to listen to the kitchen staff BS’ing with each other for 17 minutes and 42 seconds. I don’t think anyone got fired, but I didn’t have to pay for my side orders.

I think you’re joking, but I have a story about that.
