Well yeah! When you need to market something that is inferior to what it's replacing (RWD->FWD in the early 80s), you gotta get drastic! What do you do? Tell people that the new ones are safer, and that if you drive the old ones, you might die!

I they did such a good job of it that there is a whole generation that thinks RWD is new and special!

So I just tried to self diagnose a small red bump via Google... Apparently I either have diabeetus, cancer, Peruvian Creeping flu, or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Probably going to die, it was nice getting to know you all.

My uncle once met a nurse, so I'm an expert in these matters.
It's definitely septicemic plague. Sorry mate.

- I like your signature, btw. I'll steal it after you stop posting.

Damn, you might be right. If it is the plague, I guess I'm not long for the world... In that case, it looks like you'll be able to steal my signature here soon. May it bring you better fortunes than it brought me.

I'll carry the signature like a flaming torch in honourable remembrance of all victims of the Horrific Small Red Bump Plague, as I'm sure it will be known.
Unless, of course, my itchy armpit turns out to be Necrotizing Fasciitis or as I suspect; something far more sinister.

That's just a rash. Take two sponges and call me in the morning.

Okay this one isn't that good, but I read it recently, so I thought I'd share:

3 drunk guys entered a taxi. The taxi driver knew that they were drunk so he started the engine & turned it off again. Then he said, "We have reached your destination!". The 1st guy gave him money & the 2nd guy said "Thank you". The 3rd guy slapped the driver. The driver was shocked, thinking the 3rd drunk knew what he did. But then he asked "What was that for?". The 3rd guy replied, "Watch your speed next time, you nearly killed us!"
