The proper reaction would be to escort the man to the hospital and let his wife take the dog in while the husband a receives speeding ticket.

Maybe karma will put his ambulance in a traffic jam when he accidentally shoots himself in the chest.

The traffic jam at 1:01 made me lol. Gotta upvote, if only for that.

the problem here is the stupid road designers who make a big white line down the middle and say you can't cross it, even if your side is totally full and the other is empty.

there would be no traffic jam here if 3 lanes were open to the traffic going in the most popular direction.

probably explains why there's a traffic jam..

Now, for those such as Alanis Morrisette who are confused with what, in fact, is irony? This video is ironic. Not a traffic jam when you're already late, or a no smoking sign on your cigarette break. However, those examples can be easily made ironic. A traffic jam, when you're already late for your interview to become the new traffic planner for the city. A no smoking sign on your cigarette break from your job at a cigarette packaging factory.


Is it possible to upvote a comment more than once? Must learn to hack website.

I've come up with a perfect, two word example of irony: lifeguard drowns. So yeah, I feel your pain.

And why do you think driving has become a background task?

I too think it would be a bad idea to implement this in the U.S., but for two unrelated reasons. One, I think most Americans are inconsiderate bigots/clods, so something that works on ethical principles is doomed to fail (yes DOOMED into fucking HELL. The more religious you are, the more of an inconsiderate and immoral bigot/clod you potentially are). Second, having more traffic jams costs the U.S. economy more, and while I cringe at the thought of the pollution it produces, I like the idea of teaching Americans some economic lessons the hard way. Seems they didn't get it in 1929.

This makes for great comedy, but the politics are pretty whacked.

The central premise here is that you're born free, but encountering a world full of other people who have rights, that's what enslaves you, because you have to respect the rules of society.

I mean, dammit, you can't even drive on the sidewalk when there's a traffic jam!

Total BS, my freedom is being infringed!

My transportation fantasy is a dedicated bike lane next to the shoulder of federal highways. Sure, there would be a danger element, and the air would be crappy, but how amazing would that be?

awful traffic. i don't own a car since i smashed my last one two years ago - some asshole came straight at me doing 130km/h and i (well, both of us) was extremely lucky to get way with just a concusion and some bruises cause the car was a total wreck. now i just ride my mountain bike and laugh at fools going 30 during rush hour...

Slovenia has traffic jams? I thought there were only like 6 people there, and Latka Gravas already emigrated.

This Marine, all messed up from Vietnam, went to the hospital to get checked. Because of the war, his brain was all screwed up, and all he could say was the words to the Marines hymn.

So the doctor asked his name, he replied, "From the halls of Montezuma..."

The doctor decided to remove part of his brain, thinking that would cure it. When the doctor did this, the Marine still said "From the halls of Montezuma..."

The doctor figured he did not remove enough of the brain. So after removing some more, the marine still only said those words.

The doctor, now getting frustrated, decided to take the rest of the brain out. Now the Marine, with no brain, stood up and started singing, "Be all that you can be..."

Worse than having ever been in the shit, being out, or working 12 hr shifts.......is the state you now inhabit-Maine....where-

You can pay for six Big Macs with a personal check-
You see the sun going down and you start looking for your coat-
-More than 1/2 the meat in your freezer is moose-
-You think you're in a traffic jam when you're in the second car at the light.
-You pawned a snow blower instead of a set of golf clubs
The only state besides Rhode Island, where a girls basketball game fills the school gym

I blame MG for scaring the girls away from this site-Cheers, Marine-

Scum.

Phelps' mob was in town a few days after the Station Nightclub fire in Rhode Island, protesting the burned husk of a building and the makeshift memorial to mark where 100 died. Cops were also in attendance to allow them to protest. From what I could see as we drove by (they caused a traffic jam), it was ok for them to hold up their signs declaring 'America is doomed' and full of 'fags', and to shout down anyone within 20 feet or even passing by the display on the road, but the cops were pretty testy about anyone getting close to or responding to them. That was a sad day, especially as they were allowed to exercise their full rights while others were discouraged from response for fear of inciting violence.

No,it's not fast. Keep dreaming of your "bus world" but thats not the world everyone lives in. Like I said in big citys mass transit has its place. But it's enormously expensive. You don't pay what it really costs to ride the bus. If you had to you'd soon relise that it's not efficent - mass transit systems are allways subsidised - but then again no one really looks at the cost. Politicians like mass transit because its the "right thing to do" and can get elected. But it will never "solve" traffic jams because millions and millions of people cummute from places that arn't close or are too remote to bus stops.
