Pay Attention While Driving

Here lies Harry Allen McGruder
He passed when he wrecked his scooter
He waved his goodbye,
While fixing his tie
They buried him in satin and pewter.

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 3/20/2022 5:16:00 AM Better to arrive a little late, than unfortunately be announced during a moments silence, that the late Mr/Mrs has unfortunately passed in an accident on his/her way here. True, poignant words. Hugs, blessings. Jennifer. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 3/20/2022 8:44:00 AM True. True, Jennifer. When driving a scooter (or car) don't try to do other tasks at the same time. Concentrate on driving!

Tom Cunningham Date: 3/20/2022 3:27:00 AM Lol, the moral of the story, always use both hands. Tom Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 3/20/2022 8:45:00 AM You got that right, Tom. This guy was breaking the golden rule of driving! Always keep both hands on the steering wheel at a 10 and 2 position. No time to fiddle with a tie or even wave goodbye. Do all of that beforehand.
