The Brits are to blame for this, spreading their left-side driving everywhere.

To Japanese as well, something the US car industry did not know when it tried (unsuccessfully) to export Left Hand Drive cars to the Japanese in the 1980s. :D

No, I guess it doesn’t…

“You miserable, coke-addled, old fool!”

That sounds unusually…erudite for Zeke.

Per Google, the distance between Colorado and Bermuda is 2,325 miles as the airliner flies (Google offers a slightly curved line, not a straight line, between the two). Even not taking the whole “Atlantic Ocean” thing into account, that would indeed be one heck of a drive, so it’s safe to presume they’re en route to an airport.

I think Earl had better drive the rest of the way to wherever.

How did it get to that , driving on the left side of the road ?

The world is distinctly less rose-colored when you come down off that high….

“… miserable, coke-addled, old fool!”

What a perfect description of Duke! Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Funny, but I easily adapted to driving on the left side of the road when I went to Okinawa. However, coming back and readjusting to driving on the right almost got me killed. …sheesh.

“911, please hold” What the heck? Not that I will miss Zeke.

Zeke hanging upside down without his hat, his ponytail is now a man-bun. If Alex could see him now she’d have something to say about his masculinity.

One of the essential characteristics of British culture is “bloodymindedness”. The reason the English decided to drive on the left side of the road is because the French had decided to drive on the right side.

Oh boy! 911 ‘hold’ music!

Duke has a point. It makes no sense.

Why do some countries drive on the left side of the road?

It may go back farther than you think.

911, please hold…???? When was this first written? That can be taken 2 ways… Recently, local 911 call centers have been accused of being slow to respond, even to land lines… But, since this is older and that is a cell phone, this is a cell phone 911 issue… Hmmm?

Really, Duke? Snow-capped mountains in Bermuda!? As a born and raised Bermudian, to that I say…

Wouldn’t that be nice.

I guess one coke addled old fool can recognize another.

From whence does Zeke know Duke?

They are like two ships that collided in the night!

OK help me out here. I don’t know about the history between Duke and Zeke.
