Boats are far worse gas guzzlers than Hummers.


That's why I asked you what kind of work you do.


What do you do? Put up or shut up.

What's work?


It's that thing people do between paychecks.

When you're retired all you have to do is breathe between paychecks ;)

Oh - as long as that's clear.

For example, a 5 ton SUV driven to the grocery store for a bottle of
milk
is guzzling gas. The same vehicle, used to haul large heavy objects
over
unfavorable terrain, is not. The difference is in utility.

Fred, at first I thought you were kind of funny, in a sad way. I mean,
you're the ultimate fat & stupid angry white man (you're bald, too,
right?
just a guess). You're like listening to an audition for a spot on
hate-talk radio, with a laugh track.


Your immaturity and shallowness is shinning brightly. I suppose you asked
your parents to give you you the physical characteristics you have now?


Oh - well done. I like that in a non-judgmental way.

Can I use that sometime? :)


I got that one from a wise old Gunny about 20 years ago.

No it isn't. There's no reason to ask that, other than to demonstrate
that you can't address the topic of the thread, a fact that I proved about
150 posts ago.


What kind of work do you do?

I think you're assuming buyers are always stupid. What is SUV buyers were
asked this question: "If you can have every single feature and benefit
you asked for, but get 23mpg instead of 14mpg, would that interest you?"
How do you suppose some buyers would react to that?


Cavet Emptor.



Why? I don't expect the mpg estimates to be gospel, but they're usually
achievable unless someone drives like an idiot.

Let's try this, since you're totally allergic to thought experiments:

You're a car salesman. A lady walks in and says "I want an SUV. I need lots
of room for passengers and soccer balls. And, I think they're safer because
blah blah blah".

Now - you have two available. One's the traditional variety, with 4WD and a
V-8. MPG=16/12. The other has 2WD only, a V-6, and MPG sticker says 25/20.
Other than these differences they are identical.

Would you tell her about both versions?

Good work... circle the wagons when one of your own is going
down in flames.

Let's see, did Fred's parents make him fat? They may have
taken a hand in making him stupid, and ingraining him with a
high level of unreasoned prejudice... and that's a good
thing IYHO? We can also guess that he may be angry with the
world because of issues associated with his childhood (ie
blame the parents)?

In other words, being a fat angry stupid white man, with a
bald spot, is not Fred's fault. You stole that whine from
liberals, right?

Great new album title: Rappa Fred & Bert & Tom... fat stupid
and angry as they wanna be
