17. Bonus points for a continuously-blinking left turn signal.
Edited on Wed Aug-20-08 08:39 AM by Wednesdays
:)

On edit: I'm hardly one to talk--lately when I have the windows open I often discover, after several minutes, that I've left my turn signal on. Hmm... :blush:

19. *L* If it makes you feel any better,
I often get to daydreaming about my sweetheart and find I've been driving at 45 mph on the freeway. He may well be flattered, but the folks I share the road with are most displeased.

18. Marathon napping.
Added degrees of difficulty include multiple screaming grandchildren, loud 'devil-worshipping' music, ones own loud snoring and a cat stropping its claws on your thigh.

20. Denture Adventure All-around.
Best of two scores on eating:

  • crisp, under-ripe apples while wearing dentures,
  • caramels,
  • corn on the cob,
  • And a bonus round of twisting a beer cap off with your teeth.

23. Pffft.
Medicare won't even pay for blood pressure meds. You think they're gonna spring for steriods?

Let 'em dope if they want to. If they're still alive and have the bucks to obtain some black market drugs they probably deserve a medal.
