The Freeway - Part I

Ah the freeway - serving America proudly since 1956.

If the idea of traveling above 50 miles per hour frightens you, perhaps the freeway isn't for you. Please consider one of the many convenient alternatives to freeway driving. For example: public transportation, asking your grandkids for a ride, and of course walking. Remember, the speed limit, unlike the speed of light, can be safely approached without worrying about any of those pesky relativistic effects.

Of course, we should all remember that the speed limit is an upper bound, not a lower bound. I-15 in Salt Lake County is NOT the autobahn, the salt flats or the Indy 500. While we are all curious as to just how fast your nifty new motorcycle can go, none of us wish to scrape bits of you off of our cars. Also, we all know that you have places to be, often far more important places to be than the rest of us suckers going home to our families, but we prefer not to be treated as obstacles preventing you from reaching 100mph. Leave early and slow down! Better to be a little late than a lot dead.

Is this THE Jacob F? I'll have you know, mister, that this had me busting a gut. You MUST update this baby more regularly. As a driver in Utah, I am guessing you have plenty of material.

Heck, if it's this funny, I don't care if you write about toenail fungus.
