Report Idling... call 311

You read it right. The title of this article is NOT a sci-fi prediction.

The people of NYC have actually been told (through radio advertising) to call 311 when vehicles  are suspected of idling.

Clearly this stupidity was not thought through. Below are 18 good reasons that proves this idea is idiotic.

1. What exactly is idling?

Well, according to the definition;

"Idling occurs when a vehicle is left running unnecessarily when stopped."

2. But how do we define "unnecessarily idling?"

3.  How long must "unnecessarily idling"  take place before a person is obligated to call 311?
One minute? Two minutes? Three?

4. Can you be stopped in traffic and be accused of idling?

5. Can an ambulance delivering a patient be accused of idling?

6. Has  illegal idling   occured if one picks up a hot dog at 7.11?

7. Is idling a threat if a parent  picks up their child from school or  a doctors office?

8. Will Fed Ex ,UPS,  and all delivery trucks in the city of NYC be targeted for idling?

9.  Does the term "idling  vehicles" apply to  mortorcycles, electric bikes, or hoverboards?

10. If a person becomes an "idling enforcer" should they carry a stop watch?

11. How do we prove that illegal idling has taken place?
(You can't take a picture of an  ideling object or for that matter a video).

12. How does a citizen identify a potentially idling vehicle?

13.How do we know if the person who has reported this infraction is telling the  truth?

14. If an ideling car drives away should  the "idling enforcer"  write down the licence plate?

15. If I am accused of idling will I get a ticket? If so, for how much and how many points?

Will my insurance rates go up?

16. Can I fight an idling charge in court?

17.   Who is the idiot that came up with this idea and spent thousands of dollars in advertising?

18.  And WHY in New York City are we  diverting resources to enforce such stupidity?

Stock Broker Rock Stars? Not.

COMEDY

I was invited to a party that was exclusive to Stock Brokers and Wall Street types. They all had on the same outfits. Either a combination of a navy blue suit jacket with beige pants or a navy jacket with navy pants. But always with a white shirt and an understated redish tie.

The event was "Wall Street pretending to be a Rockstar night."

It was ugly.

Have you ever seen a Broker wearing a black T- shirt,  light blue jeans, Brooks Brothers dress shoes, a red bandana and singing Billy Joel?

You don't want to. It's not a pretty sight.

The size two girls came  out in droves. They all wore long blond hair, short dark colored dresses, black stockings, and black closed- toe designer pumps.. .way to high.

I walked in with a turquoise rain jacket, brown cordurois and Ecco hiking sandals paired with wine colored socks.

I scared them and they scared me.

Finally, when we could take it no more I fled into the street and called a loved one.

"OMG,OMG! You would not believe it but I was in the liver of the beast! The Stock Brokers are all as dumb as posts. Kens and Barbies were socializing while plotting to spend money on stupid stuff like Hampton homes! I barely made it out alive!"

And my friend asked. " The liver you found yourself in the liver? Don't you mean the belly?"

And I said, "That's right the liver. They were drinking so much their bellies were full".

P.S. Ya know I'm poking fun. I love brokers. That's because I don't know any😊.

The show is over Donald

I love you Donald, I love how you juiced up politics, I love your guts and your brawn. 

But the shows over folks. Time to take a fresh look at Hillary. Who  I have to congratulate on the historic step to clinch a nomination from a major party in a Presidential election. She's got my vote!

I am in awe. Hats off and Bravo! You go girl!

Buffet Wonders

Why do people get annoyed with one another at buffets?

Why do people pick out all the shrimp?

And why do we want to kill them?

Why do people stand in line all jammed up against one another scared that all the food will be gone?

Why do some people pile their plate sky high?

Why do some people jump to be first at the food  and others wait till the end?

Why do people upset themselves before they eat because they are irritated at others?

Why don't we just skip the buffet and option for "by the plate"?
