There are some roads around here that are so bad you feel like you've just gone through the spin cycle in a washing machine.

I'd believe that. I hit one the other day that would've swallowed a small car..

I suspected as much. The voices in my head have said the same thing for years now.

Some old guy on a lawn mower told me, and I sent the chauffeur over to make sure. I would've checked it myself, but the curtains were closed on the bay window on the house...


There are some roads around here that are so bad you feel like you've just gone through the spin cycle in a washing machine.

Ya know, on some of these roads, it's better when they have some snow and ice on them. It at least fills in the potholes and evens them out a bit.

Not sure what to say about the washing machine thing... never rode one.

That does'nt make you a bad boy, Tom.


It might make you a drunk boy, but that's a whole 'nother deal entirely...
