If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The N/A-Team.

Started reading the article looking for the punch line! I must admit I was beginning to wonder about you Paul.

Not today, but it made me smile yesterday.

We were in a hurry to get home from my daughter's basketball tournament in Birmingham (Alabama) yesterday, because it was also prom night. Anyway, on the road between Tuscaloosa Alabama and home, there was a Crown Vic/Grand Marquis just ahead of me in the left lane. Now, this particular car had tinted windows (at least the rear window), a county license plate (official), a conspicuous antenna in the center of the rear deck, and I could make out the rectangular shape of what I figured had to be the blue lights inside the rear window. A Corolla in a hurry went quickly between the unmarked cop and me, then just as quickly hit the brakes when he was along side the cop. From that point on, he just drove calmly along beside the cop. Several other cars did similar things, realizing at the last second that it was a cop causing traffic to move along about 2 mph below the limit. Finally, when there were about 7 or 8 of us wishing the cop would turn off, somebody who didn't recognize the unmarked car, got the opportunity to squeeze between the Corolla and the cop, and went for it. The cop sped up behind him, and so did I -- I didn't want to miss it! Sure enough, on come the blue lights. It was priceless. I thanked the guy for taking one for the team as we went by him.

Psychopath Test

Read this question, come up with an answer and then scroll down to the bottom for the result. This is not a trick question. It is as it reads.


No one I know has got it right.

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a guy whom
she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing. She believed him
to be her dream guy so much, that she fell in love with him right
there, but never asked for his number and could not find him. A few
days later she killed her sister.

Question: What is her motive for killing her sister?
[Give this some thought before you answer, see answer below]

Answer:



She was hoping the guy would appear at the funeral again. If
you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath. This was
a test by a famous American Psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer.

Many arrested serial killers took part in the test and answered
the question correctly.

If you didn't answer the question correctly, good for you.

If you got the answer correct, please let me know so I can take
you off my email list...

I got it correct. After answering, though, I remembered seeing the same quiz a few years back. So I don't think like a serial killer, per se, but I am able to learn from them. Do I get to stay on your list? :shock:

There's nothing that brings a smile like having your 11 year old hurry to help with the laundry so he can go along while the old man flogs his Elan. Nothing, that is, except pulling over to let three sport bikes pass on a back road, then nailing the throttle as the boost climbs to 1.1 bar and keeping up with them. The smile on Marcus' face put an even bigger one on mine. A great day indeed. :D

Taking my Elan out for for a spin for the first time in far too long. Roof down, new exhaust singing as I went for a gentle blat along some familiar roads whilst the sun set over the Isle of Arran. Bloomin' marvellous! :D

Two things really, Gary had asked me to price him up for some loft insulating boxes that go over spotlights to protect the loft insulation from the heat from the light, but then he txt'd me back to say he had read on the internet to use upsidedown flower pots.................not sure who's the flower pot ?

Saw my 1st elan this year, admitedly it was a red one ( not my favorite colour ), but it did look good going down the road with roof off ! :)
