    My grandfather had a Chicago-area highway map from about 1960. Near one of the toll roads (the East-West tollway, I think) it clearly states how tolls will be charged "until construction of the roads is paid for."

    Needless to say, the tollway authority has only added more booths and bureaucracy since. Plus a huge, glistening headquarters in the western suburbs.

    Don't hold your breath waiting for those liars to remove the toll booths.

    After someone wins a big race/game/tournament, people say "he/she is going to be a great champion."

    What exactly does that mean? The person already is, having won whatever it was. Sure, they'll do some media hits for a day or a week or more saying how wonderful the victory was, so proud to win, etc. Bathe in it for a year until the event comes around again. But is anyone ever not a great champion?

    People who wear sunglasses indoors. I don’t care if you’re famous or not. Unless you are overly sensitive to light, lose the shades; people just assume you’re a douche.

    Why not just assume that they're sensitive to light? How would you know if they are?

    I work in Greenwich, Ct. My default is to assume they’re rich assholes who are either famous or aspire to be.

    If you sit down at a table and order food from a waitress take off your hat.
