Fools of the Road 0
A couple of weeks ago, I was driving home on the Expressway at about 8:30 p. m.
As I started to overtake a pickup truck, I noticed a rectangle of light through its driver’s side window. As I gained on it, I could see that the driver was holding his “smartphone” in his left hand, typing out a text with his right hand, and steering with the back of his left wrist.
Smart phones.
Dumb people.

People who live in glass houses . . . .
Three people suffered head injuries, including a middle-aged man who hit his head so hard against a glass window that he was bleeding on his eyebrow and expected to have stitches, according to 911 audio (for a transcript of the calls, click here).
Subtitular Substitution (Updated) 0
Last night, we watched an episode of Perry Mason.
We had the subtitles turned on, because we often watch BBC shows and some of us find the accents problematic. The subtitles were screwy.
Here’s an example (I’m ferinstancing here):
- I’d like you to meet Detective XXXX Tracy. He’d like a Manhattan XXXXtail.
Honestly, you can’t make this stuff up.
Addendum, Later that Same Evening:
In another Perry Mason that we watched this evening, the word “suspicious” was rendered “suxxxxious.”
The stupid, it burns.
