    Show your independence and don't attend. It's as simple as that!

    I would second this motion!

    I was a maverick in high school (they called us "hippies" then, LOL!) and I didn't go in for this crap.

    After watching my dad play rock band, I learned that he is NOT Keith Moon, no matter what he says. My exidence is:\
    1. My dad's name is Tom, not Keith
    2. My dad is living, whereas Keith is not.
    3. (and this is the big one) Keith could play drums with amazing skill, while my dad cannot pass songs on easy

    You are required to attend homecoming? Wtf is up with that? I wouldn't know if that was required when I was in high school though. I quit two weeks into my junior year and started college early. I hated high school.

    The IRS (Dept of Treasury) collects more revenue from diesel fuel than income taxes. Think about that for a minute...

    Now you're starting to understand. I would've taken detention, ditched that and then gotten kicked out of HS!

    Then, I would have quaffed a few bucks from my parents, started my own business and sold it when I was 30. Retirement is great when you're young and can still enjoy it!!!!

    seeing an ex girlfriend with her new boyfriend all but reaching home plate in a public place can be a little awkward...especially when you know she knows you're there.

    Absolutely! It came directly from an IRS Agent conducting a field audit at my business. I will not release his name obviously. I was floored when he told me that also...

    It started out as," Can you give me a stat that the regular Joe would find interesting?"

    The Agent told me about the Diesel fuel excise tax revenue compared with income tax revenue.

    I then asked about gasoline excise tax revenue and he said, "I don't know as I specialize in diesel taxes only."

    The tax rate for diesel is 24.4 cents per gallon

    The tax rate for gasoline (automotive) is 18.4 cents per gallon.

    These are federal rates only.

    There are 50 States with 50 different rates (it seems.)

    ............Something being posted on an internet forum does not make it true

    ............Check your can of beer before drinking from it if it's been sitting in an open golf cart on a nice warm summer day

    ............ Bee stings on the inside of your lip are very painful (see above!)

    ............Repairs on a Ferrari are never a) simple b) cheap c) done as quickly as you originally thought they would be

    ............Buy LOW, sell HIGH (not the other way around!)

    ............Stabbing your sister in the forearm with a pencil really will make her bleed all over the car

    ............Cranes, even very large, well maintained, outrageously expensive ones may still fail and drop something very heavy

    #1: Don't detour to Zyzzyx St on I-15 between Vegas and LA, regardless of what the GPS tells you.

    #2: When venturing down Zyzzyx St, make sure you're going down the right street and have a purpose in mind.

    #3: Do not venture offroad, especially slowly uphill, in the desert in a rear-wheel drive sports car.
