One of the best studies ever was when Penn DOT paid something like $150,000 to someone to do a study of traffic problems on the Parkway West. The study concluded that there need to be more lanes. Heck, I could have told them that and only charged $50,000!

My vote is that it <really BAD swear word> SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


My mom was recently showing me this t-shirt she wants to get. It said "I (heart) MS!". (it was in her Mississippi magazine)

I looked at the advertisement and was immediately insulted and irritated. (I hate MS, and I also dont really care for the state of Mississippi...no offense to anyone from there) When I first saw the t-shirt, I knew she was reading her Mississippi magazine, but the first thing I thought when I saw the abbreviation on the t-shirt was "multiple sclerosis". Second thing I thought of was "Microsoft" (something else I dont really care for either)

My dad wants me to write a letter to the magazine and tell them how offended I am. I dont know if I should. I just know I really hate MS.

I have a friend who's initials are MS, and he likes to go by his initials as a nickname. I'll just be calling him "Mike" or "Michael". If he complains...tough!

But then again ... they have discovered that the highest incidence is during the month of June, regardless of whether a person is in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere ... which would be our summer and their WINTER:
