Frazz by Jef Mallett for June 22, 2014
Transcript:
Caulfield: Why do old people drive so slow? Don't they realize time is closing in, that whatever moment they're crawling to is irreplaceable? Has life gotten so routine that there's no rush to get to the same old thing? Has time compressed such that the turtle's plod feels like the cheetah's sprint? Mrs. Olsen: I'm not listening, Caulfield. Miss Plainwell: Did you see what I saw on my way in? Frazz: Mrs. Olsen and the cop? Caulfield: She was listening!

I thought Mrs. Olsen was a bad driver anyway? My guess is speed was not the reason for getting pulled over.

You learn to enjoy the journey, Caulfield. It is not all about the destination.

Maybe she got a ticket for driving too slowly. It HAS happened before though rarely.

I may drive slower as I get older, but that’s because i’m also getting wiser

The question should be “Why do so many self-absorbed and self-important asses drive over the speed limit? Don’t they realize that the few minutes they save aren’t worth the cost of their life, or the pain and suffering they may cause to others by their reckless and thoughtless actions?”

Years ago, my brother got stuck behind an old guy with one elbow out the window, the other draped across the steering wheel, and a hat pushed back to the crown of his head. The old guy was bobbing and weaving from lane to lane and driving 15 mph under the speed limit. He finally made a right turn from the left lane right across my brother’s path. My brother followed him around the turn and hollered something about him being a pinhead. The old guy parked and as my brother came adjacent, said, “Hi, there, Billy, how are you today?” It was our grandfather.
