The story about Dunkin is too funny. And what a great little anecdote you included with it! You all must have enjoyed having him as your instructor. 🍩 ☕️
Ahhh, those younger days, my BB and I decided to go on a diet to gain weight... didn’t work, we were still skeletons with rubber-band muscles (I did have those extra strong ones 💪 so nobody in our class dared to be a bully as the weirdo would have them calling uncle). Well once I retired I did drop 25lbs between cycling, alpine skiing and gardening. No donut shops around where I officially learned to drive, had already drove a farm plated dump truck and parents let me drive around an empty parking lot while they walked the dog or on National Forest back roads.
Falling cans of meat, get the F under cover.
Oh yes, it's Thanksgiving this week down south 😜, we've already had two weeks of Black Friday 🤔... stores just go earlier and earlier - Christmas decorations were up before Halloween was over 🤷
I was skinny until my Senior year of High School. When I put on a little bulk.
It's basically, the "Black Friday" month now. It's silly, really. As is Christmas before Thanksgiving (in my opinion.) But some people enjoy it, I guess. Mostly retailers. 😂
1. The physicist wouldn't have been named Bruce Banner, would he?
2. The cans of meat falling from the sky thing sounds a lot like the work of the eccentric American journalist Charles Fort, who compiled several collections of such stories in books.
3. Anytime anyone talks about driving instructors I always end up thinking about the marvelous comedy routine Bob Newhart did about one such man. ("Don't pull out!").
I am thinking you may possibly need to cut back on your meds, Mark... Though, yes, I do hate those kinds of Thanksgivings. I am most thankful for being still among the living and having another day in which to atone. There is still hope for me. Happy holiday to you and to all those who love you out there wherever you are, you goofy creature.
Good tip! I haven't known a biologist since High School, so I think I am fairly safe. Although, a couple of my friends have been bitten by radioactive spiders.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Mark!
Best driving instructor ever! He was pretty laid back for someone putting his life in the hands of new drivers. 😂
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours also, Justin!

I’d like being instructed to drive to the donut shop!
It was pretty awesome.

How did you know?
I will have to check out Charles Fort. Thanks, David.
Bob Newhart was great!

I would if I took any. My weirdness is all natural. 🤪
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Sharron!
You'll have to read my story, 'DMV in Retrograde.'
Will do.
Thanksgivings draw out the surliest. At least he didn't stay to talk politics.
Thanks, Mark
That is something to be thankful for! Nothing ruins holidays as fast as politics.
Happy Thanksgiving, John. 🤓
And if you invite a molecular biologist to Thanksgiving, don’t eat the stuffing. Or the turkey.

Happy Thanksgiving, C.L. 🤓
