You probably haven't driven in Boston or New York City...
Consider yourself lucky; we could have renamed our Sonoma County Airport "Ripley's Believe
It or Not Airport" for the other famous Santa Rosan.

Normal people direct their responses to those they're replying to, unless their brains are
so dettached they're unable to tell who they're actually talking to. But I apologize.
You probably meant to say "Ry must have shit for brains" instead of "You must have shit
for brains" while replying to Secret.

What did you expect? California is ruled by folks who believe that if one person doesn't
like a joke, 24 million others shouldn't be allowed to tell it. Some of the meanest SOBs
you'll ever know live here. Feel free to rant about Californians.
But it has nothing to do with this thread, has it?
