Ego’s….

Anyone else noticed that goofball GMC/Chevy/Dodge (idiot) drivers want to race you when they notice your new Ford truck?? I swear, the louder and higher their truck the worse it gets.

Of course, I show proper and mature restraint. But……I had one “opportunity” with a guy in a jacked up Chevy….. He might want to think twice about challenging a 6.7 PS next time he’s out cruising the interstate. This old man in a new F-450 absolutely smoked him….. LOL. I have to admit, it felt pretty good.

As many miles as I drive every week, I see idiots like that a number of times a day, super aggressive chuckleheads that think their crap don't stink and want you to think so too.
I just do my best to ignore them unless they try to force a confrontation.

I ran an arrogant Jeep in the ditch. One of those deals where the right lane ends and you have 1/4 mile to merge like a gentleman. But no, we'll cut off the shiny red F-250 with dealer plates at the last second. Or maybe not. Do Jeeps count in this thread?

I have noted the right foot is the 3rd stupidest part of the human body.

All the time. I-94 is chocked full of idiots. The saying around here is " The higher the Truck, the lower the I.Q." Coal Rollers are the worst of the bunch. Early 2000's Chevys at the top of that list!

Technically it's about the things possessed by egos or a shortening of "ego is." Possessive example: My ego's characteristics are really disturbing. Contractive example: My ego's a bitch. Shortening of "ego is." Now, I'm not an English major, hell, I barely finished high school, but that is from my recollection of grammar and English as was taught back in the distant past. The correct word for the plural of this noun would be "egos."

Hmmm…. Very insightful.. but how do you know I wasn’t referring to egos possessed by these drivers… i.e. “ego’s?”

You raise a valid point, Sir. I am way too shallow to take things like that into consideration. Well played....

Only the (1) tongue and the (2) genitalia create more harm and misery by way of their stupidity than does the right foot, who comes in at a distant third.
I knew someone would ask.
