One of my customers

has a receptionist who proudly displays a Confederate flag above her computer monitor, right there in the office.

I’ve never said anything, but it always made me wonder, because she is black, and built like Grace Jones.

So One day I’m standing there and mentioned the flag, and she said “I LOVE the british. I love watching BBC tv! I watch it all the time! When I saw that at a truck stop on my way home from vacation one day, I HAD to have it!!”

I’m not going to be the one to point out to her that a confederate flag is not a union jack.

Have I mentioned how much I like the Taurus?

No, not the Judge.

One of my co-workers owns an SHO taurus. I got to drive it to lunch yesterday because they were going to be having a few beerce, and I gotta tellya, if I could haul the shit in that that I haul in the Sploder, I would have one in an instant.

No, it’s not “fast” in the conventional use of the word- yes, it scoots around, but it’s not a rocketship. What it is is an all wheel drive checker cab with it’s center of gravity about four feet underground.

If you’ve never been in one of these, it’s huge inside. It can easily and comfortably fit four full size adults- and I don’t mean Bruce Willis full size, I mean Michael Clarke Duncan full size. And it drives like it’s on rails. If I was in the market for a car, this is the car.
