danasgoodstuff Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) Today I had my traffic ticket dismissed (by a judge I went to law school with), didn't get a parking ticket for stupidly parking on the street (it took forever) and met a new stripper with a really BIG heart...and the Hollies are in the R'n R Hall of Fame and Kiss aren't, hooray! I should add that my going to school with the judge really had nothing to do with it; it was the arresting officer who gave me the option to go to a safety class and have the ticket dismissed...I think the judge is a trombonist, but if remember right the one time we played to gether I was horribly out of tune, contempt for sure!

danasgoodstuff Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Posted December 19, 2009 You win! I'm a white guy, born in the last half of the 20th century in America, married to a wonderful woman, with a beautiful child, so I already won, but sometimes I forget... Quote
doneth Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 I've often thought that one had to be very lucky to have been born white, male, American, and before Pearl Harbor: too young for Korea and too old for Vietnam, I've been surfing all my life on the tidal wave of prosperity thrown up by the baby boom. I've never really had to worry about anything. And now that I'm a 'senior' with no pension and a reduced Social Security as a result of having been a grasshopper all my life, I've got a wonderful wife who has a terrific job. I must be the winner of winners! Quote
