    Known to few peopple, Dave is actually a very modest guy. He'll likely be embarrassed that I post this...but all's fair in banging the drum for a fellow f-chatter. Just tonight while chatting with him on the phone he related this interesting story of today's adventure.....

    While driving on the freeway he witnessed a lady (on a cell phone) plow into the back of another car. Due to the relationship of bumper to rear-end, one of the cars involved got thrusted upwards and went from the fast-lane onto the center divider and ALMOST into the oncoming traffic of the fast lane in the other direction: disaster!

    Even though Dave had his son in the car, Dave pulled over, ran out of his car, and along with a CHP officer helped pull the old ladies and their passengers out of the car. What you have to further understand is that often during these accidents other cars, rubber-necking, often get in additoinal accidents sending more cars all over the place: being outside your car is VERY DANGEROUS.....

    Kudo's to you Dave ;)

    (and feel free to correct/add to the story where I missed details)

    But, what happened after that? Did he stuff the old ladies into his trunk for 'safe keeping' and drive off? Who knows what twisted fetishes were formed during his 'time off' from F-chat!

    (Joking aside, many kudos to Darth)

    A very smart move. Old ladies are often tempted to alter their licenses in order to put a later birthdate on them. No doubt he checked their $bills as well to ensure they weren't involved in any money printing schemes. One can never be too careful.

    I will be writing the Vatican to see that a sainthood application is put into motion for Darth.

    Gee thanks, Steve!

    ....and here I was trying to be all serious and stuff......

    As long as were telling the story let me clarify it a little.

    First of all it was on Friday and my son was not yet in the car.

    The two old ladies in the MBZ wagon were in the #2 lane. I was in the #3 lane. The MBZ driver (on the phone) crossed over the double yellow (in to the diamond lane) right in front of the SUV doing about 50. When the SUV hit the MBZ, the it plowed so far underneath it that the underside of the MBZ rear bumper broke the SUV windshield. Then the SUV driver slammed on her brakes and the wagon bounced up on to center divider and came to rest teeter-tottering on top it. The other side of the 405 was flying. When I stopped (along with the truck between us from the #2 lane) we got out and dragged the two ladies out of the MBZ. We opened the doors to brace it from rocking. The woman in the SUV had 3 kids in car seats in the back. She was hysterically crying but OK. The guy who helped me was an off duty cop. No airbags deployed and thankfully, no one upside down on the wrong side of the 405.

    Rest assured......My karma has already come back to me. After I dropped my son at his speech therapist appt., I was downstairs in front of the pharmacy. This young lady decided to twirl around right in front of me right when a perfectly timed wind gust occurred. God bless her, she wasn't wearing any panties at all!!! :D:D:D:D:D

    After this, she happened to be right next to me at the counter as I was paying for my goods. When I got my change I said to the counter person thank you, then turned to her and said.....AND THANK YOU!

    She blushed a little but I think she was happy just the same!

    Interesting Friday!

    If one thoroughly cleanses himself of any dirty thoughts, and bones up on the topic, they will see there is nothing fishy about it!

    Its just because Darth has changed in the last week. 2 weeks ago he would of just floored it and went around. See what being banned from f-chat does.

    Heres a few other things that have changed.

    1. He hates the Lakers, loves the Spurs!!

    2. Has started putting Pace picante sauce on everything. Even in his coffee.

    3. He is thinking about Porsches more and more.

    Its just weird.
