We need to have the admins add another vote type. We have "Good Answer" and "Off Topic". We need to add "Sad But True".

Re: Caption This 01/04/2019. To Serve Man

To Serve Man

Due to extensive testing in forklift/warehouse environments our self-driving cars are now officially DOT approved for urban mass transit. The complete* and extensive video data from the industry press office is available to the public.

* to better "serve you" some minor redactions have been made by our Elite Transportation(ET) Agency editors of the future
______________
thewildotter

P.S. Some of you may recall the "To Serve Man" episode of The Twilight Zone.
The translator lady screams at the end, "The Gift, it's a Cook Book !"
This strip from the cutting room floor stimulates "not just your sense of sight and of sound but also of mind" and of memory.
Some say ET's are just evolved human elite visiting us from our own future.
I am not saying life inevitably imitates art but...
"Look, the signpost up ahead..."

...and Management responded:

''I don't care who is responsible! None of it is comming out of MY pay!!!''

(On a more serious note, having been in different car accidents myself, I not laughing very much because it looks like the driver, at least, died in this collapse...)

Marcel's experience as a demolition derby driver got him fired from this job,but he was hired by a controlled demolition company after they saw the video.
