However, some individuals giggled through the entire affair. Now, don't get me wrong I sometimes looked at the speaker like he was a couple tacos short of a combo meal due to some of his comments, but I kept these thoughts to myself in order to be respectful. As well, I was fully aware they were not appropriate due to the setting. The world is very over-populated, so if you find it in your best interest not to listen to a voice of reason, drink yourself into a coma and wrap your trunk around a post, go hard, because you are breathing my air and obviously not enough of it is getting to your brain. There were people at the presentation who took the assembly to heart and did not appreciate your interruptions. Chances are they only have bad things in their drug-laced future. In my experience drunks often think they drive better that way and druggies think they are the most intelligent people around -- which is why no one can stand them. News flash! No one will want to let these people drive them home because it risks their lives. The only activities these individuals seem to do well at includes eating Oreos and playing hackie sack. We all need to grow up sometime -- the truth is ... no one outside of Columbia sells crack for a living, resides in a mansion and has a love life to rival Hugh Hefner. Ways to tell you shouldn't get in the vehicle: 1) There are suspicious smelling ashes in every nook and cranny inside the vehicle; 2) The driver is playing Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show; 3) The driver decides to only drive five kilometers and hour, as to not attract attention. - --- MAP posted-by: SHeath(DPF Florida)
