Never attempt to ride a CB750 up a U-Haul truck's aluminum loading ramp.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos...then you probably haven't completely understood the seriousness of the situation.

My wife performed a song cycle of modern quotes from comedians, authors, etc... and this was one of them. "Those of you who think you know everything are very annoying to those of us who do!"

My father told me that a number of times. The one I most remember is when we were driving down a gravel road in rural Iowa in our old 1966 F250 Ford farm truck and saw a big racoon balanced on top of an electrical pole.
