1) 9. You sit at a red light for 5 minutes with no other traffic in sight. Finally, a car approaches the same intersection - towards the light that has been green for the past 5 minutes. That light turns red right before they get to cross, and you get the green. The other car proceeds to sit there for 5 minutes after you are gone. Genius.

2) 10. You watch the news just to see who they'll interview tonight...then wonder where in the world these people come from. (No offense, Ben. It's Springfield, not you.)

12) Have you not heard people say how something is in a "right state"....like Betsy might have exclaimed how her hair was "a state" after her last haircut.
I guess it must be a limey thing....just ignore me, I tend to do or say limey things once in a while.
I have a good excuse for doing weird things nobody understands.

13) LG, I was just kidding with you. I knew what you meant. It's one of those statements that could've been continued, but really don't need to be. But, yea. Nevermind. I think mine was a bad joke...it would be one of those that would take an elbow and a smirk.

14) Oh....it was a good joke, I just didn't know if it's one of those limeyisms that you yanks don't get.
I have to go and laugh belatedly now so I won't be able to type due to the vibrations I'll be causing.
