I've been busy the last couple of days and the next few are packed as well so excuse the short postings.
Bingo Bob e-mailed me yesterday. He referred to my posting about Charlie's' pubic lice project and said "What school is she going to? Ron Jeremy Junior High!"
Very funny that boy.
She is doing some Health class assignment on pubic lice. I'm just glad it doesn't involve a trip to Home Depot. How awkward would that visit be.
"Yeah we're doing a project on pubic lice, have you got any, uh, steel wool?"
I talked to Judy Croon yesterday on the phone, dam she's funny. Plus she's a great laugher.
I was going over some material with her and she never fails to make you think your on the right track. Lot's of comics I've worked with over the years only react to something funny with a blank stare or the words, "That's Funny."
If you ever get a chance to see Judy do her thing go, you won't be disappointed
I had two weird things happen to me in my car recently.
1)I was in a parking lot traffic jam.
2)I got into some road rage incident with a mother and her kid.
1)I'm downtown for a meeting yesterday(I do that a lot, it seems) and I went to get my car in a lot East of Yonge street.
It was jammed with 15 cars, all trying to get out at the same time. It was madness.
How is it that all these people decided to leave at once?
This only happens in Toronto.
20 minutes later I asked the ticket-lady if I could get a discount since I was finished parking 20 minutes ago and I shouldn't have to pay for the time it took me to get out.
She just stared at me blankly and said "That's funny."
2)I'm on my street going home just under the speed limit-50 kmh-when Mini-Van Mom passes me!
Seriously. She speeds up to at least 65, goes around on the left and flies by me.
I freak out and chase her down.
She stops.
I roll my window down and say,"I'm sorry to bother you but you just passed me on a residential street! There are kids on that street"
She' a little freaked out but comes back with.
"I didn't see any kids!"
Nice. I say, "So you think it's okay to go that fast in a neighborhood with kids?"
Mini-Van Mom tries again."I'm in a hurry because it's an emergency!"
This is quite the debate.
I yell back,"Good try. You should be ashamed of yourself!"
She says,"No you should be ashamed of yourself!"
Huh?
At this point I gave up. I guess I should be ashamed of myself for having the nerve to call her on her reckless behavior.
I'm not ashamed though. I just hate the thought of a kid being run over because some idiot is in too big a hurry.
Sorry, I don't have a punchline here.

Hey Coach Coach these are the same reckless mom's and their oh-so-out-of-touch husbands that hall their butts down to the Town Hall meetings and stand in protest or more Crossing Guards and School Calm zones! And you best be believin had the situation been reversed, her kid was playing on the street and you were driving recklessly you would have had a visit from Halton's finest not to shortly thereafter... Shame on her!!!
