Fundie Drivers |
Damn fundie drivers!!
I just got cut off twice by the same SUV. It had two large fish emblems with
the little crosses in them and four smaller ones across the back doors. I
honked during the second time they cut me off but the driver just waved. I
guess being "right with the lord" entitles them to drive like *****.
I should have shot out the tires and placed Vic's little "L" shaped doo-dads
on the fish.

A friend sent me this. It seems appropriate....
The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a honk if you
love Jesus bumper sticker.
I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a
thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I
bought the sticker and put in on my bumper. I was stopped at a red light at
a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is
and I didn't notice that the light had changed.
It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd
never have noticed.
I found that LOTS of people love Jesus. Why, while I was sitting there, the
guy behind started honking like crazy, and when he leaned out of his window
and screamed, "for the love of God, GO! GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader
he was for Jesus.
Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving
and smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to
share in the love. There must have been a man from Florida back there
because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach...
I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up
in the air. When I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that
meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.
Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave
him the good luck sign back.
My grandson burst out laughing, why even he was enjoying this religious
experience.
A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they
got out of their cars and started walking towards me.
I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when
noticed the light had changed.
So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on through
the intersection.
I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the
light changed again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after
all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the
window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I
drove away.
Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!

Perhaps they drive like ***** to cause people to honk, in the mistaken

The light turned green, but the man didn't notice it.
A woman in the car behind him is watching traffic pass
around them. The woman begins pounding on her
steering wheel and yelling at the man to move.
The man doesn't move.
The woman is going ballistic inside her car, ranting
and raving at the man, pounding on her steering wheel
and dash. The light turns yellow and the woman begins
to blow the car horn, flips him off, and screams profanity
and curses at the man.
The man, looks up, sees the yellow light and accelerates
through the intersection just as the light turns red.
The woman is beside herself, screaming in frustration
as she misses her chance to get through the intersection.
As she is still in mid-rant she hears a tap on her window
and looks up into the barrel of a gun held by a very
serious looking policeman.
The policeman tells her to shut off her car while keeping
both hands in sight. She complies, speechless at what
is happening. After she shuts off the engine, the policeman
orders her to exit her car with her hands up.
She gets out of the car and he orders her to turn and place
her hands on her car then handcuffs her and takes her to
the police station where she is finger printed, photographed,
searched, booked and placed in a cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approaches the cell
and opens the door for her. She is escorted back to the
booking desk where the original officer is waiting with her
personal effects and says, "I'm really sorry for this mistake.
But you see, I pulled up behind your car while you were
blowing your horn, flipping the guy off in front of you, and
cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the "Choose Life"
license plate holder, the "What Would Jesus Do" bumper
sticker, the "Follow Me to Sunday School" bumper sticker,
and the chrome plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk...
Naturally I assumed you had stolen the car."

I just remembered a joke on this subject from the "Dave Allen Show". It was
a BBC production that was shown on PBS years ago. Anyway, it goes something
like this:
Man1: (to erratic driver) "You should be more careful about how you drive."
Man2: "God is my co-pilot!"
Man1: " Well, you better let him drive 'cause you're going to kill him!"

He has been in four wrecks already!

Eh, no. Lack of judgement discourage good driving. Thinking you
survive anything discourages good driving. (In that case, buy a
Hummer. Bradleys are even better but far less fuel efficient.)

One day in alt.atheism, Also Sprach Another Apostate:
Damn fundie drivers!!
I just got cut off twice by the same SUV. It had two large fish
emblems with the little crosses in them and four smaller ones across
the back doors. I honked during the second time they cut me off but
the driver just waved. I guess being "right with the lord" entitles
them to drive like *****.
I should have shot out the tires and placed Vic's little "L" shaped
doo-dads on the fish.
Hah!
Try commuting on a motorcycle. One Saturday morning last month I was
almost killed twice in one minute. Between being right with the lord,
driving a 10 MPG SUV and yakking on a cell phone while slurping Starbucks
and keeping your warring children apart from each other, life goes on.
Or it tries to. And these guys are completely oblivious to it.
One guy over in rec.motorcycles had an old guy driving an old sedan,
warring with his equally old wife, tailgate him and repeatedly cut him
off for a few miles. Having had enough, and having decided he was going
to show the codger he wasn't going to give in without a fight, he planted
a boot in his door. That got the fucker's attention.
I've also heard of bikers that carry a pocket full of #10 ball bearings
for the windshields of tailgaters that should be paying a little more
attention, and try to imagine what goes through a biker's mind while
being followed insanely closely - like his chance of survival if a
fucking squirrel runs across the road and he falls off the bike trying to
avoid it, only to be squashed by the dumbass cager on his tail. Who
really didn't mean to kill him, he was just trying to get to the meeting
on time...
Of course, nothing would start a road-rage war faster than bouncing a #10
ball-bearing off a cager's windshield. 4500 lb. SUV vs. 450 lb. bike?
Can you say "hood ornament"?
This afternoon a nice lady in a Beemer began a three-lane dash to the
left turn lane in front of me. I'm prepared for this kind of ***** now,
and I ride hyper-aware. I braked wayyyy before she saw me. And when she
finally did, and dove back to the right, the sheepish grin on her face as
I passed her made me laugh. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Mr.
Invisible.
Yaaargggh!
Car drivers need to take the MSF course, if only to become as intensely
aware as those of us bikers who are still alive need to be. Drive safe,
and always assume everyone else is drunk, stupid, blind, *and* religious.

Hah!
Try commuting on a motorcycle. One Saturday morning last month I was
almost killed twice in one minute.
My brother used to ride, and the guy who gave him a safety
course told him to always remember:
1. They do not know you exist.
2. They are actively trying to kill you.
When I was a trainer for SuperShuttle, my advice was this:
"Every other driver is a paychopath with tunnel vision. They are on
the phone, and drinking coffee. Their cars have no working turn
signals, faulty brakes, accelerators that stick, and haven't had a
wheel alignment in years.
"Oh, and the drivers? They hate blue vans with a passion."

And if you assume everyone drives like this, like I do, you live much
longer. That thing about the turns signals is so true, too. Those
people annoy me.

If you're paying attention, you'll notice when someone wants to make a
lane change before they even turn on the signal - IF they turn on the
signal. Watch their driver's side mirror. If you see their face in it,
back off - or accelerate past them if you can.
I saw a guy this morning do a full head turn, acknowledge (with reaction)
that he saw me, then changed lanes in front of me anyway. It was close,
but this is a game of inches, and I'm getting used to it. I've stopped
road-raging about it, too. I watched a motorcycle cop 20 feet in front
of me get pushed left into the next lane by an oblivious driver. The cop
just went with it, deftly avoiding the idiot, and continued on his way.
That taught me a lot...

So true! Some of the reactions I get when I (legally) split lanes in
traffic jams range from mild surprise to utter shock. I've seen some
swerve wildly, nearly getting themselves in an accident. Some even yell at
me in anger. Hey, let them get their own bike.

Recently, Another Apostate shared the following :
Damn fundie drivers!!
I just got cut off twice by the same SUV. It had two large fish emblems with
the little crosses in them and four smaller ones across the back doors. I
honked during the second time they cut me off but the driver just waved. I
guess being "right with the lord" entitles them to drive like *****.
I should have shot out the tires and placed Vic's little "L" shaped doo-dads
on the fish.
My observation is that the #1 reason people put those dead fish
emblems on their vehicles is the hope of avoiding traffic tickets.

That and those "support the badge" stickers. What, do they think a cop
will see that and let them off with a warning?
