TURN WHEN YOU TURN

Well, here we go AGAIN!

Back in the Dark Ages, back when I was a kid, the new automobiles came out with a fascinating device. With it, you didn't have to roll your window down when it was cold or rainy outside. You just pulled a lever down or pushed it up, depending upon which way you intended to turn. And it was legal, too.

So why, after fifty years, don't people know about this fancy device?

In fact, how many people you know who actually know the old way to properly signal turns?
UP for right, DOWN for slow and STRAIGHT OUT for left.

Have you noticed that it seems no one is giving signals anymore, except you and me (and I always do). Between their cup of pop, cell phone and cigarette, while trying to read the paper, and put her makeup on and tie his tie, I guess they really don't have time to give signals. And even if they do, do you really believe them?

I'll let you in on a secret--I DON'T!! Too many times have I seen that right turn signal on the back of a vehicle that proceeds to make a left turn. And, vice-versa. So many times in fact, that I'd rather they give no signal than an incorrect one.

And they've taken me up on it--very few give any kind of signal anymore. So, in order to make sure everyone is doing the same thing, lets make up some rules--
1.) Put your cell phone to your left ear if you intend to make a left turn (see, its real easy, once you get the hang of it.)
2.) Hold your cigarette in your right hand if you plan to make a right turn (gets easier all the time, doesn't it.)
3.) If you are just going to slow down, place your steaming hot coffee cup between your legs and then hit the brake hard.

OR YOU COULD TRY USING THE SIGNALS THE MANUFACTURER PLACED THERE FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE TO BEGIN WITH, (expletive deleted.)


Of course, if people would use them properly, there really would be no need for me to make my rude signals with my finger anymore!!! (Kinda looks like the state of West Virginia, doesn't it?)
