May I steal this? I could have used one this morning; I got back to my car after voting and someone had parked diagonally next to me, with about 3" between the cars. Sigh.
Re: I need to keep a supply of these in my car...
I would make one of my own, but in place of the turtle I'd have a picture of a hand with the middle finger aloft. 'Cuz I'm just a bitch that way.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

I've got something like this in my car. For the worst offenders I will fill out a "ticket".

That is SO fantastic! I just went to the website and ordered three pads, one for my car and two for my cousins for stocking stuffers this Xmas.

I printed up a handful of these on yellow stock paper. They almost look official.BoSoxGal wrote:That is SO fantastic! I just went to the website and ordered three pads, one for my car and two for my cousins for stocking stuffers this Xmas.
Remember, if you issue one of these be sure not to park any where near the offender. It could be a bad move for your vehicle.

Oh yeah, it’s definitely got to be 1) leave the citation, then 2) leave the area.RayThom wrote:I printed up a handful of these on yellow stock paper.

The correct quote (from the SF novel Beyond This Horizon, by Robert A. Heinlein) is “An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.”dales wrote:Remember RayThom:

As I've pointed out elsewhere, Heinlein also wrote (in a different, later, SF novel, Tunnel in the Sky) “One time in a hundred a gun might save your life; the other ninety-nine it will just tempt you into folly.”
(Maybe Heinlein learned something about society in the 14 years between writing those two novels? ...or maybe, as a science fiction author, he was able to imagine the philosophical underpinnings necessary to whatever fictional future and whatever fictional plot his imagination invented.)
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Sorry if I did not give the "correct quote".The correct quote (from the SF novel Beyond This Horizon, by Robert A. Heinlein) is “An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.”

I do. You made up your own version of a well-known quote from one of my all-time favorite authors, and got it ass-backwards.dales wrote:WGAF?
