After years of hearing the cars approach and pass me, I noticed that some trucks are quieter than some SUVs. It’s the tires that are noisy. I wonder what it will be like when all vehicles are electric and silent—except for the tires. |

| [Friday Joke] A Mormon was seated next to an Irishman on a flight from London to the US. After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The Irishman asked for a whiskey, which was promptly brought and placed before him. The flight attendant then asked the Mormon if he would like a drink. He replied in disgust, “I’d rather be savagely raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips.” The Irishman then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, “Me, too, I didn’t know we had a choice.” |
