Speed trap

I have noticed quite a few speed traps lately. Somehow I think I give off a magnetic pull that draws me into these speed traps. Thankfully someone set up a website to help alert you to these traps...

Literal interpretation

I'd say this was taking your job's rules literally...

A driver who apparently took her work rules very seriously abandoned a bus full of former prisoners along a highway because her hours for the day were over, police said.

Great game

Superbowl Sunday... it was a relaxing and enjoyable time, hanging out with friends and enjoying the Giants 4th quarter win. The commercials were ok... only a few really were funny. All in all, I was glad to see Manning #2 got the superbowl win. Their 4th quarter drive was great.

My favorite commercials were:
• Dorito's mouse trap
• Bridgestone


• Tide-to-go talking stain
• Planter's peanuts uni-brow
