Just a little warning...

Laughing while drinking diet coke makes it go up your nose and it burns really bad!

We were trying to get our errands done quickly the other day and we got stuck behind a very old man who was driving in the left middle lane of a 4 lane on each side of the road business district area. The speed limit is 50 and he was going under 30 miles per hour. I looked at the man and he had white hair, a big winter coat (it was 88 degrees with 72% humidity) and he is hunched forward clinging to the steering wheel. We are very empathetic towards the elderly and their desire to remain independent. We have a large population of elderly people in this area and they advise them to stay off the roads during rush hour if they aren’t comfortable going with the flow of traffic.

I said “Look at the poor old guy, I wonder what he’s thinking being out here in this busy traffic at this time of the day?” I took a sip of diet coke as Ken replied “I know what he’s thinking” and then in his best 90 year old man voice he said:

My horse went this fast and this is as fast as I’m going
