Grog's 10 Commandments of Driving

I had begun a post on driving advice to avoid road rage but hadn't finished it, and now the Vatican has come out with their own "commandments" for driving. Now I have a model to emulate.



I. Thou shalt not operate without working brake lights.

II. Thou shalt not slow down to gawk at other people's misery (i.e. rubberneck)

III. Thou shalt not turn without signaling

IV. Thou shalt not block faster traffic in the fast lane

V. Thou shalt not ignor the light when you are first in line

VI. Thou shalt not talk on your cellphone

VII. Thou shalt not drive below the speed limit except when accelerating, braking or alone on the road.

VIII. Thou shalt not endanger others

IX. Thou shalt not read, eat or apply make-up while driving

X. Thou shalt not drive with your bright lights on with oncoming traffic or when following closely

I may amend this list from time to time. In South Florida there are so many examples that the list may grow considerably.

2 minute break

I went into the restroom at the office this morning and unbuttoned my pants (damned buttonfly jeans). I searched in vain for the opening in my boxer shorts before concluding that I had my boxers on backwards. Dropping my pants proved that to be true (scratch, scratch, scratch).

Is this an early sign of dementia? Why didn't my shorts feel strange? Did the hip operation somehow affect the feeling in my butt? Am I making too much of this? Or not enough?
