Subject: BS: Dog getting lesson crashes car From: Crane Driver Date: 29 Aug 06 - 06:24 AM Currently on AOL news - A woman in Hohhot, the capital of north China's Inner Mongolia region, crashed her car while giving her dog a driving lesson. No injuries were reported, although the vehicles involved were slightly damaged. The woman, identified only by her surname Li, "thought she would let the dog 'have a try' while she operated the accelerator and brake". They did not get far before crashing into an oncoming car. Cue for a song - Oh Mrs Li, what did you see? You got those "my dog crashed the motorcar blues" Andrew |

Subject: RE: BS: Dog getting lesson crashes car From: Big Al Whittle Date: 29 Aug 06 - 09:09 AM Just think what might have happened if the dog hadn't had lessons. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dog getting lesson crashes car From: Kaleea Date: 29 Aug 06 - 07:45 PM When I was a toddler, my Daddy thought it would be fun to put me on his lap & let me steer the car down the street. After all, my little car seat (not for safety, just for fun) had a steering wheel on it, complete with a horn in the middle of it which I was adept at honking. It was night, & dark out. We wound up in the ditch on the opposite side of the road. My father laughed the whole time. My mother screamed hysterically, not seeing the humor in the situation. There was no damage to the car. If there had been, since Daddy & Grandad owned an auto salvage, it wouldn't have been a problem, I guess. At least there was no one else on the street. And yes, Daddy drove a stock car in the Tulsa races back then, but not the car I steered. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dog getting lesson crashes car From: Stilly River Sage Date: 29 Aug 06 - 09:27 PM Rap is right, we dispatched this story a couple of days ago over at MOAB. Got some good puns out of it. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Dog getting lesson crashes car From: Liz the Squeak Date: 30 Aug 06 - 06:04 AM Yeah well, some of us don't have the hour to spend sitting here waiting for MOAB to fire up.... or the long weekend free to read the whole thing. Some people don't even go there anymore.... Everyone with even a grain of intelligence knows dogs can't drive cars.... they'd never be able to use the mobile phone whilst trying to change gear. Mind you... I'd rather have a dog driving behind me than some of the complete tossers on the road these days.... LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Dog getting lesson crashes car From: Charley Noble Date: 30 Aug 06 - 10:00 AM Andrew- I hope they throw the book at Mrs. Li. This kind of flagrant abuse of public safety has got to be curtailed . . . Of course, there are some folks who play concertina while they are driving! Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: BS: Dog getting lesson crashes car From: Big Al Whittle Date: 30 Aug 06 - 10:18 AM thats right - say what you like about alsatians, you never see one playing the concertina while its driving. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Dog getting lesson crashes car From: Liz the Squeak Date: 30 Aug 06 - 10:59 AM That's because alsatians have taste and integrity, and prefer to play the piano. Of course, you can't play the piano whilst driving, but I bet if they outlawed it, some pillock in a BMW would try. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Dog getting lesson crashes car From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Aug 06 - 03:39 PM We know of a situation where law enforcement asked immigrants to the US how their van had crashed. "I only stepped into the back for a moment, for a drink," replied the driver. "I don't know how it could have slipped out of cruise control." He was quite surprised to learn that US ingenuity did not extend to autopilot for driving, with which he had confused cruise control! :~) ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: Dog getting lesson crashes car From: Wolfgang Date: 31 Aug 06 - 06:26 AM There really are silly people. For instance him: Priest drowns while trying to walk on water Reminds me the guy Amos (?) once has posted about who thought he was safe against bullets. Some Mudcatters then thought that the religious background of the story was a reason not to laugh about the man. I don't think so and I laughed about the drowned priest as well. Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: BS: Dog getting lesson crashes car From: Gurney Date: 01 Sep 06 - 01:42 AM Just heard on the news. A woman was stopped on the autobahn because of her "zig-zag driving." She was found to be working a lap-top computer AND ALSO talking on a cell-phone. She protested that she was driving as she usually did. A dog would have more sense. A Border Collie, anyway. Wish I could multitask. |
