THE ROAD TO RUIN….
Have you ever been so frustrated by somene’s bad driving that you wished you had an old wreck of a car—so that you could teach ‘em a lesson?
Well, back in 1932, comedian W.C. Fields felt that frustration and created a segment doing just that in the film, “If I Had A Million.”
The premise of the comedy bit seen in this clip was that he and his wife are the victims of road hogs—and use the gift of 1-million dollars from a dying tycoon to buy a fleet of used cars to teach bad drivers a lesson.
Of course, we can’t get away with that in real life…But, there is a web site that’ll help you vent your frustration about bad drivers…
I Park Like An Idiot.com is a place where you can upload photos of some of the worst parking jobs ever seen on earth…
Posting a picture of some bozo’s road-hogging parking job is a lot safer than the W-C fields method—without the added medical, insurance and legal bills that would be sure to ensue if you decided that life ought to imitate art..
PAPER, PLASTIC, OR LAPTOP…
After decades of staying the same—the shopping cart is going hi-tech…
Called the MEDIA CART this little puppy has a computerized screen on it. As the video below shows, it’s more than just a way to deliver advertising…
It’s kinda like Big Brother’s gone shopping….
It’s got GPS to locate products, it’ll respond to voice commands, accept your store courtesy card, check prices—and even total up your groceries so that all you have to do at checkout is hand the clerk some money or your card.
But after watching the video—I’m left with one, nagging unanswered question. How do they keep the MEDIA CART from disappearing out of the supermarket parking lot ?
If you’ve ever lived anywhere near a grocery store—you know that those carts are found everywhere—being used for all sort of things besides shopping.
Maybe the built-in GPS can help those carts find their way home again…
