Reaganism is Ok, Wacko Right Wing Trumpism (eg MTG, and the self proclaimed pedo Matt Gaetz) are not.

Guys and Gals

This thread is getting a little off-topic. Let's keep the politics and conspiracy theories out of it and keep the thread a little light-hearted and reminisce about the ol' times through some rose coloured glasses.

Last I saw, it was a change with registering a trailer. Now someone called Marjorie has raised the price of a Chomp from 20c? Yeah, different topic.

…When somebody would have the fortitude to discreetly suggest you check and adjust your “dress”, as old school modesty would phrase it - rather than just let you wander around for hours in public with your zipper down.

d-l-o-r-w

Or something.

And then you bring politics into it, it starts to go sour. My Admin lady likes sour candy.

We put a Lolly jar at the entrance to the office, and filled it with Warheads and worse. Strangely, it got emptied.

Remember when people had good manners. when driving on the road and other drivers would never give you the finger out the window.

Good manners are free, so is a little respect on the road.
