And While I'm At It . . .

Again, while driving to court this morning . . .

Why do people put boxes of Kleenex on the ledge behind the rear seats of their car? How many people have passengers who have the sudden need to blow their noses?
And do they also offer a beverage service during the drive?

The reason they have boxes of Kleenex is because someone stole the bobble head dolls that were there and the car back window looks "naked" without something there.

Now a black velvet painting of Jesus and Elvis playing poker with dogs is something I'd want to see.

Karen,

I'd pay good money for a copy of what you described! That's art!

I'd TOTALLY want a picture of that. I'd buy two. One for me, and one for the Sainted Father S. I'm sure it's something he doesn't have.

My fave is the plethora of tastefully arranged and displayed stuffed animals (beanie babies, mostly) in cars driven by people over 20 who do NOT also have car seats in the back. What is THAT?

I've always figured it was so that the box could fly forward at a sudden stop and whack them in the head. You know, since that's more or less what would happen.

I always feel tempted to replace the Kleenex with a brick (my misspent youth I guess)...

Clamrampant and AA -- love your styles!

AA; bet you *almost* unscrewed a lot of salt and pepper tops in restaurants when your rents weren't looking.

My kleenex is on the floor behind the passenger seat so I can reach it when needed. My passengers can use their sleeves.

And I am so OCD that when the box gets a bit smooshed which happens when it has no more than 20 tissues missing it is replaced with a new one (that matches the car, don't ya know)

I am one sick puppy:)

Adrienne, as long as you clean up after yourself you can be as sick as you want. Would you come & clean my apartment? It needs an OCD's (both kinds) treatment.

AA - happy to do that. I LOVE cleaning other people's stuff. More interesting than mine.
