The 50's were not an era known for promoting gender equity and it was particularly sarcastic when it came to a woman's driving skills, as shown here in the first all-female driver's ed class.

Recently I came to know about an accident. Two brothers are owning a road roller that they used to rent out. They used drive them selves for the roads contractor. One day one of them left the key in the engine and sleeping bellow the machine. The other bother who just came-in, thought of keeping it at a side unknowingly started the engine and backed it. Horrible it was.

please please PLEASE PLEASE. Send that thing to Chrysler Corp. Their seat design SUCKS!! Even in our top of the line Dodge Caravan with heated leather seats I cannot drive the thing more than 100 miles without it becoming a real pain in the ass (literally). I have had the same problem with other Dodge products over the past 30 years also. They are not ergonomically inclined.

Elizabeth Rawthenstall was the first woman to experience training on the KrisDel™ All-Vehicle-All-Terrain Diving Simulator.

She was quietly pleased that she scored so well on the "Amphibious Vehicle across a Beach Minefield" section.

The Congressional Committee on energy independence considered all relevant political and scientific opinions when commissioning the prototype "modified hybrid biofuelcell nanocomposite magnetometric plasmodium drive" vehicle. Speculation is rampant that ownership will have to be subsidized.

Perhaps your husband has a difficult time understanding your words when you speak in lower case? Try it again, this time capitalising the important words, and see if this helps.

When I was a young girl I believed DOS stood for the words "Disney On Silicon." My father called it that when something didn't work, which was most of the time in his opinion.

"Doesn't she come with an air conditioner," you mean?

I rang* her with your question. She said for me to "Tell your friend that it all depends on one's objectives." I have no idea what she meant, do you? (Aunt Roxy can be somewhat cryptic at times. Sorry! )

I thought the carbon bit is about an active-charcoal cushion on the chair, to separate the combustible gas from the sulfuric odors, and into their respective accumulation-chambers, for later use.

Wasn't this the idea ?

Mind you, ordinary cooking-gas has it's sulfuric odor deterrent already mixed-in.

So, why should we separate the two, when in practical terms they complement each other ?

I simply don't get it.

You didn't hear this from me......but.....The Famed Kris/Del time machine sales has been disappointing. so the Kris/Del marketing department is repackaging it and renaming it to the Kris/Del sex change machine. I hear in Sweden their stock is soaring........keep it under your hat.

News Flash---- The SEC has just announced an insider trading scandal on the Kris/Del time machine/ sex change machine.

The SEC has stated that all trading on such labeled devices shall cease and desist immediately and furthermore all stocks exchanged will return to their perspective owners as if the trades were never made. Neither Kris (the squirrel) nor Del the Cat have been available for comment...

It appears the marketing department has been arrested on fraud allegations and K/D inventions owners are nowhere to be found...

We will update you when more information is available...

Thanks JB,

Thats was our news reporter on assignment in London

Thou this reporter never said the Kris/Del time machine never worked, I only said the sales didn't make their projections.

you ever have a feeling of Da jae vue'

This just in, after recent news articles about the the Kris/Del sex change machine side effects. Kris/Del have since pulled all units off the market and repackaged them as time machines. Sales are brisk. Their stock again jumped 3 points. The SEC in the confusion and has suspended all investigations on the company.
