Passing on the right

[gary_webb]

He was entitled though - entitled I tell you, I could tell by the snooty, elite look he gave me as he passed in front of me, waved and said ta ta. I mean who says ta ta anymore.

If he said "Save the Ta Ta's" that was me.

A voyeur.

(heavysigh) No no no, we've covered thisa a million times, you should have it down by now Thats "show me your ta ta's" not just "ta ta", that leads to confusion, as shown here. Next time Gilligan doesnt get to bring beer to class.

According to Websters:

Voyeur - 1. one obtaining sexual gratification from observing unsuspecting individuals who are partly undressed, naked, or engaged in sexual acts. 2, one who habitually seeks sexual stimulation by visual means.

Now that I think about it, he only had one hand on the steering wheel. I'm assuming the other hand was occupied while he was observing my unsuspecting naked feet.

Where the heck do you keep your feet while driving?

Does it really matter if there are any rules or laws about this? No one follows them anyways.

They're for the accident reconstruction techs.

true, just take a look at this site and the debate over "right turn lane". Is it for deceleration to make a right turn, is acceleration to merge and just how many miles can you travel in that lane before exiting? Have we not?

I would argue the same is true here, "the law says I can pass on the right". Like, "the law says I can make a right turn on red".
Frequently people don't really read the law, they merely hear the headline and the nuances escape them - like, you can turn right on a red light after coming to a complete stop AND there is no oncoming traffic. The law was implemented so motorists wouldn't be stuck waiting for a light to turn green when there was no traffic.
While I haven't read the law about passing on the shoulder, I'm sure it was done for a similar reason, to allow vehicles, were safe, to go around a vehicle stopped waiting to make a left turn (or possibly including a disabled vehicle.
I would bet there are some caveats about not passing an emergency service vehicle, and the speed, etc.
But, as I said, mere nuances. I can pass on the right, so I will.

Hanging out the window; they enjoy the fresh air.

Or is it because they're so stanky you have to?

Beg your pardon; they smell like the sweetest rose in the fresh morning dew.

I have no choice but to take your word for that....

I'm sure they do. They might enjoy the airbag pushing back past your ears if that joker passing on the right caused a crash far less. And there's NO breeze in a cast.

I didn't know what to wear to my first counseling session to help overcome my voyeuristic behavior, so I just came in my pants.

Hey, that was NOT my quote......

Yuck Yuck. Wow is it pouring in St Inigoes! Hey Gilligan - you're a water kind of guy. Have you ever seen a bubble ring? They had some interesting footage of a jellyfish getting caught in one - I've never heard of a bubble ring before.

Yes. As a SCUBA diver, we learned how to do that. It's amazing to see the look on other's faces when you create one in 60' of water and watch it ascend. If you do a little research, you'll find porpoise (or was it dolphins...) can learn to do that too thru their blowholes.

 

[Gilligan]

Good thing GW chimed in....I was gonna suggest that a "bubble ring" was probably some kinna sex toy.



And I hate being wrong.
