Actually, I think you would be a good driver's ed teacher Bixa.
I have taught several people over the years how to drive a standard transmission,"stick".
Rule of thumb,never let your spouse or partner try to teach you. It's worth the money to pay someone.

Tilly's post wasn't really #1000.

1006. The idea that exploding engines on Qantas jets (with no injuries) is so much more important to the media than a plane crash in Cuba that killed 68 people.

1017: The way that the French "borrow" words from English and try to claim them as their own by inserting an array of dots and sqiggles above and below the font.

1018. Forgetting it's a national holiday in the US and repeatedly dialing a courthouse for crucial information.

1019. Going into a not-busy restaurant and having a waitperson wipe down the table after you're seated.

1019a. Worse, as above, but getting the table wet.

1019b. Worst, as above, but getting the table wet and with any kind of odor.

Bixa - Getting the table wet with a kind of 'odour' (because the cloth used looks like a thousand elephants have danced all night on it ;D) and you just know germs are rising up to meet your nose......ugh!!

1023. "Improving" something that was already okay. Specifically, the totally moronic, unusable, bug-ridden mess that's been made of Photobucket.
