Dear friends and colleagues,

Yes, we own a truck. A lovely Nissan four door truck, it is our only vehicle... please stop asking to borrow it!!! If you need to move grandmas dresser rent a Uhaul, it's only $19 a day. How would you feel if I asked to borrow your very nice Lexus for this evening since were going to the symphony and it would be a nicer choice for a dressy occasion??

Signed,

Buy you own!

My daughter had that issue. She finally decided to tell them they could, but she would appreciate it they paid the same rental fee as the U-Haul as well as return it with a full tank of gas. (And she always made sure the tank was nearly empty) Funny, she lost "friends" that she never liked anyway and others knew better than to ask.

Pax, you need one of those bumper stickers. You know the one I mean.


Make sure you charge them the full U-Haul rate. That $19 a day does NOT include mileage, and the mileage rate is astronomical. It was like $60-70 just to haul a load of soil amendments and mulch from the Home Depot out to my house. I guess the home improvement stores rent trucks out now, but back then they didn't....

Dear Colleagues:

IRONY. You'd recognize it if you had been paying attention in school.

Speech-language pathologist with laryngitis.

Not humorous.
Not a really funny joke.
Irony.

Maybe it was covered at school on the same day as those pesky apostrophe rules.

Oh well. I took the day off and it is my birthday.

Dear who ever puts the signs on stop lights

I was riding my bike and needed to cross a very busy intersection with no bicycle lanes. It is the only route/intersection that allows me access to where I want to go. How do I do that when you have a sign showing the figure in the red circle with a slash going through it on every stoplight post in the intersection?

A terribly confused bicycle rider who can't cross the street legally!
