Shameless and Unapologetic

The Mergeless Moron

Who hasn't secretly wished that little button on the dash was really connected to a couple of fifty-calibers behind the signal lights?

This rant is directed at a particularly loathsome sub-species of the highway hog,"The Mergeless Moron."

<------ Right Lane Ends 1 Mile Ahead!
<------ Right Lane Ends 1/2 Mile Ahead!
<------ Right Lane Ends 1/4 Mile Ahead!

Big Flashing Sign

<------ Right Lane Ends 1,000 Feet
<------ Right Lane Ends 500 Feet
<------ Right Lane Ends 100 Feet

And who do you find at a dead stop, wedged between theJersey wall and the last possible orange cone?

"The Mergeless Moron"

Where the hell do you get off  being so impatient that you blast illegally by us on the right shoulder and then take advantage of some wimp who'll feel compelled to stop and let you in. This, of course, causing a further slow-down in traffic, spawning even more clueless, selfish inconsiderate lumps of road rage bait ?

Personally, you'll be a cobweb covered skeleton before I stop to let you in! And by the way, if you're tempted to just nose out into traffic anyway --- keep in mind the accident will be YOUR fault.

If you want my lawyer just dial 1-900-URSCREWED! His office is right over the "Pit Bull Emporium!"

Perhaps another jerk, distracted while texting or talking on a cell phone, will even the karma!

BANG!    Unfortunately only LAW ABIDING FOLKS have to drive both sober and unarmed!

But that’s another rant.
