Time to start tipping

You can ban "him" but he can get a new ID. I hear that he and Uhura are the same person.

Oh sorry Uhura, I really didn;t mean to say that. WHat I meant to say was, he and Uhura1 are the same person.

I don't know his answer, but let me try as I am assuming he is referring to his total commuting costs...not just driving:

Parking: $225
Gas: $294


Miles per trip 60 x 2 = 120 miles per day x 22 work days per month = 2640 miles per month. Figure gas milage at 25 mpg = 105 gallons. 105 gallons @ $2.80 = $294

That's about $520 so far before you figure the other costs like higher vehicle maintenance costs, vehicle wear and tear, quicker vehicle depreciation, etc....

I can easily see how it can total $600 and I'm no rocket scientist.

ok, and what would his monthly costs be if he didn't pick up slugs? would parking prices change? NO! would gas prices change? NO! GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!

Then why isn't he doing it? (just curiosity)

Look up the creamation of Sam McGee,

I do not have the time to do this right, but I propose we take turns grabbing a verse and see if we can't lampoon this as we did the slugger who buggered the mugger.

So, here are the first three verses, for evaluation, voting? and publication.

There are strange things done by the Pentagon by those who wait for slugs;
With engines running and fuel cost gunning, 122582 finally got a bug;
In an late August night, he woke with a bright idea rolling off his lips,
And onto our board, he posted once more, “Wanted, slugs who tip.”

Now slugs are found, in lots all around, but by habits form in rows,
And they get into cars whose driver there are to carry them up the road.
But during the trip, they leave behind sh**, as the lost and found will tell,
MDC noted, and a better plan floated, on e-bay these things we can sell.

This thought it did last with ninety minutes past, with no one adding to it.
But the bait was floating and the topic so goading that someone added do it.
So SlugR wrote in, a tip just from him, a coin tossed in a jar?
He’d leave a tip, a commuter tid bit, a bus token from a far.


I hope that is a start. http://www.wordfocus.com/wordactcremation.html has the original by RObert Service.
