The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for December 15, 2023

And the snow doesn’t help.

Creep hour.

Great question, no answer!

Rushing to go nowhere.

For the same reason they call averted airplane collisions “near misses”

It’s another one of life’s mysteries.

Nobody drives places any more, the roads are too crowded.

The Interstate Parking Lot System.

Is that why Greek fraternities and sororities have Rush week?

They do that just to see if anyone notices.

It’s when frustrated drivers shoot up.

Same reason why you are driving on a parkway.

Why is it called a building when it’s already built?

Our hero’s luck holds true, stuck in rush hour traffic, in a traffic jam…Poor Brutus.

maybe they should rename it to nap hour. :D

Guffaw ! ! !

Excellent question, Wilberforce.

time to put on Beatles Radio on Sirius…

This is one reason I liked putting in some overtime. It’s amazing what an hour can make.

Signs of the time Kid……………

Good point. That’s why they created the term of “oxymoron” to explain these things. Go figure. Though the moron portion of that word explains a lot….

And after Brutus explains that maybe he can take a stab at why we park in the driveway and drive on the parkway.

I tended to take the road less traveled.

Good one Brutus

Good one!

the same reason rush hour is 4 hours long.

F-L-A-G-R-A-N-T RIPOFF of Mork!!!

It is called rush hour because it the hour of day that people are rushing to work in the morning and rushing home in the evening. The reason you go slow is because there too many people rushing at the same time. I wonder what it is called Russia, americaning?

“Well Wilberforce” Brutus chimes in, “think of your self in pioneer days and you are in a covered wagon heading on to the promise land, slowly but surely we’d get there”…

“Rush hour” – the perfect example of “hurry up and wait”!

Wilberforce is a budding George Carlin!

if we get more than three cars going by in the space of a couple minutes i turn to my wife and say, wow, traffic’s hellish this morning…

I took my son to a college interview in a very big city. As we were stopped dead in traffic I noticed the sign that said minimum speed 45. Apparently drivers in big cities can’t read.

Because it’s such a rush when cars hit that spot where they’re finally able to get back up to speed..

I think part of the problem with backed up traffic is that when the light turns green, the first car starts to accelerate. Then the second car starts, then the third car. No matter what, if I can see the light, I try to start moving my car forward. We could get a lot more movement going on if everyone just started moving forward when they see the light change. I am not recommending a charge of wild drivers. Just get traffic to start moving forward faster, and more cars will get through each light. This “wait for the car in front to move” is what causes a portion of backed up traffic, in my opinion.

Will someone explain happy hour to me when it’s for more than 2 hours?
