Pizza on the Weekend

Is there anything better for a lazy American on a weekend than ordering pizza?  It's one of the great American traditions.  Be lazy, eat some grease, and you don't even have to make it.  And it always seems like pizza tastes better on a weekend.  How can you beat that?

3 Day Weekend Chores

Is there a rule that just because it is a 3 day weekend, you have to do some house project?  It always seems that way.  Not that I am complaining.  It is usually something that has been needing to be done for a while, but just never gets done.  I guess that extra day has to be used for something. 

$25 Bill

Why don't we have a $25 bill?  Our coins go 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100.  But our dollars go 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100.  I just don't get it.  Can't we be consistent with our money.  I want to see the US abolish the $20 bill and go to a $25 bill.  Doesn't this make more sense.  Either that or make the quarter be worth 20 cents, but that just seems ridiculous.  Who's running the US mint anyway.  Can't they get it right?

Internet Speed

How spoiled have we become?  I remember sitting in front of my computer downloading songs with a dial up modem.  You could go eat lunch and come back it would be just about be done and I couldn't wait to hear it.  Now a days, if something doesn't download immediately then we want to throw it out the window.  What is the world coming to?

Waiting Rooms

Why are waiting rooms so boring?  You sit down, you know you are going to have to wait, but it feels like a funeral home in there.  The TV is always on CNN, all there is to read are old magazines, and there is nothing to do.  Why don't they put in a big screen or have a Wii ready.  Just liven up the place.  Give us some color or some excitement.  And get rid of the elevator music.

The Zipper

The age old debate rages on.  When you see someone with their fly down, do you say something or let them walk around like for a while?  For me, it depends on how well you know the person.  If it's somebody I know real well, I may say something.  If it's somebody I don't know, theres no chance I tell them.  It has to be one of the most akward things to do in life.  "Hey buddy, your fly is down."  Do people really say that?

Turn Lanes

Is it illegal to not use your blinker when you are in a turn lane?  Everybody knows you are going to turn anyway.  What's the point?  I might be in the minority on this, but I am a no-blinker-in-the-turn-lane kind of guy.  I think it should be against the law to use a blinker in the turn lane.  People have a hard enough time just watching the light, now you want to throw in one more thing for them to do.  Come on traffic lawmaker guy.  Simplify.
