Looking for a little motivation to read IMAO? Well, Nardo the Cat came up with an idea…

Now everybody is saying that some other country that starts with I-R-A possess WMDs or is about to possess them.
Nope, not falling for that one again. This time, we wait until we see a nuclear explosion, and then it’s the job of our efficient, friendly U.N.

On my way to work, I pass through a school zone. At many of the stoplights, they have crossing guards. They have the bright orange vest and stop signs as expected, but they also have crossing guard cars. They look like regular police cars in every way except it says “Crossing Guard” is big words on the side so no one would mistakenly use it for anything else.
Why is my tax money paying for this? Are there crossing emergencies that need require one a special car with lights and a siren to speed to the scene and help children across a crosswalk?
And who pushes dump trucks?
Apparently there was some dump truck pushing epidemic some time ago. Because of all the construction going on (stupid Bush economy), I get stuck behind dump truck a lot, and most of them have big letters on the back saying “Do Not Push.” Previously, it would never have occurred to me to push a dump truck, but, if I happen to find myself standing next to one some day, I don’t think I’ll be able to resist.
What happens if you push them? Will I die? I might not push them if they said, “Do Not Push… Or You’ll Die,” but, as is, the dump trucks just appear overly sensitive.

Realm Dekor has a new series of gifts for men. I think they’re worth a gander (and it won’t cost you a nickel).
