While coming home yesterday from Kentucky, I happen to be passing through Missouri and tuned in a local FM station on the radio. It seems that a local town in Missouri has been teaching terrorist, or assumed terroristic peoples how to drive semi-tractor trailer rigs.

I was laughing so hard that I just had to post it here. Imagining a terrorist driving a big truck and causing chaos. Like the streets were safe and they would be a threat. " SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">

Anyway, the story went on to say that the community is 95% white and the rise in middle eastern graduates at the school was.. abnormally high.

/me knows, thats why I was laughing so hard. I was imagining your face when you heard that someone local was being accused.. In bumfuche Missouri to boot. " SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">

Is there a driving school there'bouts?

Well, I've been through, been to and been around West Plains a number of times. I adopted one of my Mustangs from the sale barn. (horse, not ford)

I to do not recall a trucking school, but I wasn't looking for one either.

*shrugs*

oh well... your burg made the news.

*giggles*

Yeah, but they're my babies.

Sadly, when I was about your age, I had the chance to get a 65' Mustang for $250.00.

I was so poor that it was impossible to get that kind of cash. In fact, the guy had more than one of them to sell. All hulkers but definitely salvageable.

Shame I cannot come across deals like that now. 250 would be about... a week to get at most. I got the 3,000 bucks I needed for my truck from my boss in about as long as it took to get him on the phone.

Heard on the FM radio recently.

How can you tell if you are getting fat?

When you ease into the bathtub and the water in the toilet rises.

Heard this on "Who's line is it anyway" Yesterday:

(Paraphrasing)

The scene is two guys paddling a canoe on a river in Africa.

#1- Watch those Hippopotamus, they can rip a man to shreds.
#2- What about a woman?
#1- Yeah, they've been known to rip a man in shreds too.

The scene goes on, but that part had me rolling and pissing.

One thing I never noticed till yesterday though. There is a s**tload of anti-Americanism on that show... At least yesterdays was. Funny, I have been watching it for years and never noticed.

You're kidding, right?

I know there is two versions, but why ever would the British version have anything against America.

[EDIT]

Actually I am just surprised. I honestly didn't think they would let stuff like that slip into a program.

TBH, I never think about it much because for Americans, or Americans I know, its not an everyday subject. I mean no one here says "Did you hear what Scotland, or Ireland or Blahland did now?"

No one in the States that I know, would even bother to worry about what another country did, or does. (Excepting Mexico, which is another matter AND one I disagree on)

What I am trying to say is, no one I know has the time or inclination. In fact, whether its baseless or not, I find it very difficult for any nation to have time to worry about another in such a way.

So to answer your question: "Impartial"
I know that Britain is hardly guilt free with regards to how detrimental they've been through history, but that has nothing to do with me or mine.
