I think I loved watching Mr. Rogers more than my kids did. :)

Why is using a tampon as an emergency bandage related to this story?

Just obey the rules and quit taking a seat away from someone who wants to eat and not mooch the wi-fi all day long.

Hasn't anyone else read "The Men Who Murdered Mohammed" by Alfred Bester?

Yeah, my father-in-law said the same thing. Why should he throw out all those empty margarine tubs? They're perfectly good and they might come in handy someday.

Just keep in mind that not all "sex offenders" are actually guilty.
